2024 Jupiter Taurus sextile Neptune Pisces at 29 Degrees!

May 23 Jupiter’s last aspect in Taurus leaves us with a Vision!

Jupiter and Neptune have a religious and spiritual undercurrent. The will take us ‘Home!’ The 29th degree, called the anaretic degree, the last degree of any sign, has an ending note to it, a finality, maturity, completion, a lasting achievement! Some say last chance, too late to change, final judgement, fate. Neptune in his own sign Pisces has a maximum finality due to being in the last sign of the entire zodiac, at the end of a 168 year era! Being at the gateway, there are decisions to be made. Some are hesitant; others can’t wait to go! There is a crucial tone to the time, now or never! All that is ‘believed’ in will soon be put into action, tested, when Neptune enters Aries, the sign of Purity, March 30, 2025!

Our same day Full Flower Moon is at 2 Sagittarius 55, at 6:53 AM followed by the sextile at 2:44 PM Pacific time! Venus, Taurus’s planet, is sweetening the pot conjunct Jupiter! She is lovely and loving, admiring his strength, teachings and plans. She is also sextile Neptune, blessing his dreams to come true! Pay attention to your dreams over the night of the 22nd to 23rd. Follow up right away.

Jupiter is on a 12 year cycle, will enter Gemini only two days later, on May 25! Neptune the second to outmost planet, however, is moving very slowly about to retrograde at that 29th degree on July 22, staying within a degree of the RX point until Sep 5, 3 and a 1/2 months! Due to further RXs Neptune comes back to that degree position in 2025 and ’26! Though no further exact aspects are made the degree is activated. It holds the energy of that sextile with Jupiter for 3 years! It will be more profound and long term than it first appears. Sometimes when we connect well with good aspects, we just have a good time. But if we track it, make notes, we can purposely add to it later when we know even more! If you don’t track it, you may have memories and not quite remember what it was all about.

Jupiter, the preacher teacher, has opinions, usually benevolent. If opinionated and judgmental, it’s a lot less fun. In Taurus change may come slowly, but surely! Dedication and patience as a teacher can be phenomenal. Neptune is still powerfully in his own sign Pisces, doesn’t move into Aries until Mar 30, 2025! His connection with Spirit is generally through meditation, a dream, a belief he has experienced deeply, uncanny music that calls us, an inner voice, a calling. Compassion and transcendence are basic. The most difficult are addiction factors. Jupiter may be the healer with alternatives that make the difference. Neptune in Pisces may show Jupiter how it is important to connect directly with ‘God’ rather than solely by old scripture, or fanciful humans, spiritual fads. Jupiter’s travels have showed him how many ways there are to get to the mountain top. Pisces has seen the invisible and has psychic perception that defies logic. Sextiles offer opportunities of compatible signs. Taurus is Earth; Pisces is Ocean water. In combination they are the millions of miles of Shorelines of the continents. Critical attention is needed for our land – ocean connections, food and fish, to stop land toxins and debris from flowing into the ocean. It’s symbolically the connection between our body on earth and the oceanic Spirit one can’t touch or see, an ungovernable unknown that we ‘know’ and feel with every molecule of our Being.

Jupiter in Taurus may enjoy substantially challenging long distance ocean sports, sports of super prowess, endurance. Could be short distance rowing a skiff, or kayaking with your amazing new cruiser, or racing your yacht! Seaside running or cycling is an aerobic treat that improves your flexibility, balance, and agility. Open air beach yoga builds strength, relaxes, brings peace…and you get negative ions! 

Jupiter Taurus Neptune Pisces marriage bonds may be deeply meaningful, profound. There can be a joyous sharing of Universal wisdom, enduring teaching and service that others respect. They can be so silly at other times you don’t know when to take them seriously, LOL! They can get away with things, save people from their own foibles and habits. If there are addictions problems they may save each other or really need outside help. Jupiter in Taurus eats. Neptune in Pisces drinks/does drugs. Their ultra sensitivity may not always be helpful to themselves, yet there can be a tender and forgiving understanding against all odds. Jupiter’s patience is mixed. Sometimes he waits well, other times he loses it, but his foot stomping demands for change may save the day! Do your best.

May 25 Jupiter in Gemini can’t wait to share the knowledge and revelations of his recent discoveries while in Taurus with wise and magical Neptune! This Jupiter Gemini holy encounter is waking them both up all over again! Neptune has more hope with such an eager curious Jupiter! Sometimes Neptune just sleeps and waits, nor is he always impressed when they arrive. Jupiter, who usually gives everyone a chance, is astounded by some of what he hears. Some of it is over the top even for him, and usually it is him that tells the tall tales! He will translate these visions into many languages, blanketing the world with the insights and plans of change, how-tos, important predictions. See more Jupiter in Gemini!

Authentic essence is 100% inspiring.

Happy Taurus, Earth, Arbor & Mother’s Day!

…..Includes 100 Days of FOUR Outer Planet’s sign changes in 2025!
.…

Taurus! Natural and Sustainable!

Rain Gardens and Bioswales are getting more and more creative and lovely! Water your trees, collect water, prevent runoff and flooding, restore your water table. Take advantage of a low spot on your property, or use curb cuts to direct water onto your property! See if your area offers rebates for water saving landscaping, water storage.

Historically we were all pretty natural. Times changed. We got cities and farmers to feed them. We got herders and cowboys to provide meats from the great ranches of the West. Dairymen to provide milk, butter and cheese. Trucks and trains soon carried everything to market – lots of pollution. Nearby food farmers were pressed to provide the quantities needed, used chemicals to make up the difference. We got automation for everything and a need for speedy and fat production. We didn’t know what we couldn’t know, yet standards were set by the most wealthy producers. Some things were done to save production money and there was a built in lack or toxic conditions that came with the price tags of convenience. Both humans and animals perished. Tauruses today are still on the recovery side of environmental things that got out of hand.

Taurus is ruled by Venus. Elementally, beauty is what is in our hearts. People see that and we are beautiful. Tauruses may use no beauty aids at all or use clean cruelty-free and natural makeup and skin care products, soaps, shampoos. Tauruses are pioneers in clean beauty and have helped pave the way for more good brands to follow. Some Tauruses are beauty specialists, experts in facial design, making amazing safe and natural cosmetics and healing creams, do beauty shows of all kinds – about both the physical and what a beautiful Spirit is! In old fashioned terms, sometimes Tauruses have long, rarely cut, full hair that practically glows! They may have a lovely beard just like many old masters.

Clothes are important to Taurus. Not necessarily as a power symbol, but for natural healthy comfort, ease of wear, durability. In the 20s they loved those flowered flour/seed sacks. Sweet and cheap. Natural clothes are now a full blown industry from the growing of the plants to super fashion shows! The clothing can be geared to comfortable every day wear to extraordinary very graceful summer party wear or gorgeous evening outfits or on the runway. Not only are they pretty, but good on your skin, and sweet to the touch, especially when dancing close! Some may specialize in durable outdoor sports and sturdy work clothes and boots. No chemicals used.

Tauruses do love to eat! Food industries have taken a huge turn! The FDA considers the term “natural” to mean that the food contains “nothing artificial or synthetic.” Plus, “natural” foods may not contain color additives. More of us are thinking fresh and organic, no plastic packaging, purchased from a loving source. Now we want natural animal food for herds, animals raised for meat or milk, flocks (chickens/eggs), for our beloved house pets, for each other and our children! We want to be sure what we eat is raised happily in healthy habitat and humanely killed. We go to natural foods eating places that make you feel good/better every time you go there. Your kids and guests love it too. Maybe they have an outdoor section and you can bring your pet!

Live more simply, avoid toxins! Household and laundry cleansers and detergents, kitchen and bath care items, are being rethought for more sustainable production, safe for land and sea, for humans and animals. That’s a tall order, but it is happening.

Natural work can be in nature! Park work, management, a fire lookout, fireman! Do cooperative extension field research work with university specialists on crops or farm animal care, own a farm, fisheries. Do sophisticated sustainable landscaping, soil remediation and build using natural materials. Be the local dog walker, trainer, get into humane animal rescue, assist at disasters! Camp leader with kids in programs! You can always get into construction and do major earth moving, mining, or be a truck or train driver! Be a recycling maven! Think of biosecurity – restoring habitats, habitat and endangered species protection, better storm water use. Remember these words Slow it. Spread it. Sink it. Store it! Here is a terrific comprehensive Guide to Beneficial Stormwater Management and Water Conservation Strategies at home and in your town.

With computers we can do all sorts of work for people in the field. Tauruses specializing in climate, earth changes, can link with people all over the world to collaborate, learn from each other’s trials, not duplicate each other’s work, see where fixes and updates are needed the most, raise funds, gather teams to do the work! We can see where or not dams are needed, why, where, when and how to bring the Beavers! Become a Naturalist and teach worldwide! Improve your portfolio by learning how to do well with environmental stocks, options and futures.

A naturally happening relationship with a lot of sharing, working together can be the love of a lifetime. Taurus appreciates being loved for being himself as much as his reputation. It’s being loved with benefits. Mmm…. They like sitting shoulder to shoulder, doing good things for their loved ones, neighbors and community. Their bond is elemental through thick and thin. The basic things they love about each other are the kinds that don’t change. They like it smooth and steady, dependable. They naturally understand basic behavior, both good and bad, don’t take offense quickly, are patient and do forgive. They know it takes time to learn. They keep moving.

General ailments are vulnerability to colds, coughs, sore throats, laryngitis, swollen glands, stiff necks, and to minor injuries around the neck. Bad stuff is hanging, strangulation, asphyxiation. Health excellence is derived from the natural best! Sunshine, fresh air, clean water, strenuous hard sweaty clean-your-pores work. Using the herbs your Grandma used, found along a trail, in your garden, are natural detoxers, strengtheners, ones that maintain wellness daily or seasonally. Pure touch from a wonderful masseur, a gifted chiropractor, acupuncturist keep our organs in top function without drugs. Tauruses love furry pets. And pets are known for their amazing health benefits for humans. Good caring friends keep us in a cheerful state of mind. Don’t miss out on the knowledge of a good and loving Doctor! And take your own advice, LOL! Bless all.

Longevity is achieved! Clean thinking comes from deep genuine thought allowed by time out. A meandering walk in the park, along the stream, a skyline. At church with a loving leader, teacher. Meditation alone or with a Master. Yoga to powerful martial arts like Tai chi. Simply doing things you love and deliberately attending to your breath make a vital difference.

We are so happy to be here sharing with you, loving and loved by many.

In coming time, we will be bringing our best into planet wide collaboration. Pluto in Aquarius 2024 to 2044, 20 years!

Taurus Overview 2024 to April 2025!

Taurus is the Sign of Earth – World Wide Earth Day is April 22!
Santa Barbara CA’s Earth Day celebration is the weekend of April 27-28! 

.

Many of you have been tracking Pluto’s sign change into Aquarius. PLUTO made that stupendous 246 year sign change into Aquarius Mar 23, 2023! We need Aquarius to be strong, in working order, integrated and grounded among ourselves, in our communities, internationally. Pluto will be in Aquarius a total of 21 years, until January 2044!

.

Pluto does retrogrades back into Capricorn for a final checkup and review Sep 1 to Nov 19 before reentering Aquarius to stay! See Pluto in Aquarius     Pluto in Capricorn     Pluto’s First Seven Years in Aquarius 2023 to 2029   The 2023-4 Cap/AQ Retrogrades
.
Taurus challenges Pluto in Aquarius. First Taurus is opposite Pluto’s sign Scorpio. Second, Taurus squares Aquarius. Taurus and Scorpio are ‘fixed’ signs, known to be strong. When they disagree, neither may give an inch, for a long time. One day, as a third party comes along in a favorable combination with them both, some ‘translating’ may happen, and they see some possibilities may have developed since their agreeing to disagree occurred. Or, they operate in favor of a mutual goal, each upholding the tenets of their different strengths. Taurus may hold the lands, properties. Scorpio may bond them into corporations with strong leaders, leading to future gains. Taurus wants respect of Earth, sensible sustainability. Scorpio sees the essence of why that makes sense over long times, future, works at healing and cleaning up any toxic concerns, protecting all, establishes reserves and safe habitats for animals, safe clean living for humans.

.

Taurus is a mighty steadfast sign. Guards what is sacred. He shows us how to live in harmony with Earth. Produces materials for our use, grows organic foods for our body’s sustainable health. Aquarius is an Air sign, the sign of higher mind. He loves freedom and creativity, discovery ahead of its time. Tauruses often bring us back to indigenous ways that have always worked. Aquarius looks to the collaboration of all beings, internet and networking. He can play intricate computer games, and look for new ways to get the indigenous incorporated into modern living! Together, Taurus and Aquarius can make this world a better place. Taurus’s tempo takes the time it takes, while Aquarius is faster than the speed of Light. It may take some adjusting to communicate well. Reports first, so each knows what to talk about, then a personal meet. AQ knows to allow a little more time but how to move on and not go crazy. Several short meetings might work perfectly. Taurus may need to get to the point, stay with his priorities. It’s not likely a park bench chat. They could alternate meets specifically one, then the other responds at the next meet. Gives each intervals to think.

.

Taurus won’t be pushed around, so he can stand his ground with the other two, not be tricked or intimidated. He sees. He waits when necessary. He knows that sometimes they need to experience what he’s talking about in person, hands on. They learn he is most often right and begin to listen keenly. He likes Pluto getting monies in order, funding. He’s quite intrigued by surprising Aquarian ideas to add to his tool chest, glad to put them to work. Aquarius is generally unpredictable as it should be! They start acting as a team once they get to know each other better!

All of us have Taurus in our charts. There’s that place where the sign is, the 2nd house is the natural Taurus house, Venus is the Taurus planet. Each of us functions like an Taurus in those places. No two of us are 100% alike, not even twins! We thank you for the special blessings you bring so patiently and kindly.

We have SIX Jan through June 2024 Stelliums! Plan ahead to use these periods of concentrated energy per their signs! See the details: Stelliums of 2024  See the details and dates about the ones we are in now, the Taurus and Gemini Stelliums!

Birth chart stelliums are with you throughout your life, being perfected to become a super tool in your life. In the sky, stelliums are living entities changing as various planets enter and leave. Some are very brief, others ebb and flow over a period of time. Some are the minimum 3 planets not including Mercury/Sun. Others may be up to 8 planets. The Most Famous recent 7 planets stellium was the Feb 4 1962 New Moon Dawning of the Age of Aquarius chart. More recently was the Feb 11, 2021 Age of Aquarius, SIX Planet New Moon AQ Stellium! Some referred to it as a 2nd wave of the ‘Dawning of the Age of Aquarius!’ Currently astrologers are including Pluto going into Aquarius as a profound time as well. The Ages are long, roughly every 2,150 years per sign! Even 100 years would be a reasonable time frame for a transition from one to another. I think we could easily include 1962 and 2020/21 events and Pluto’s being in Aquarius in 2023 – ’44 as part of the process.

Taurus has his own Stellium, 25 days, April 29 to May 23. It has TWO 5 planet stelliums, one is 5 days, May 15-20! That second(!) in Taurus 5 planet stellium has a super FOUR planet conjunction of Venus, Taurus’ own planet, with Uranus, Sun, and Jupiter, all in only 8 degrees! As Venus closes with Uranus on the 18th, they are in only 6 degrees! Taurus’s stellium has two outer planet anchors, Uranus and Jupiter! FIVE planets in Taurus twice: May 6-8, May 15-20!

Taurus passes the baton to Gemini. Gemini’s stellium is June 3 to 16, only 13 days, but potent it is! June 5-7 has FIVE planets in Gemini, the New Moon on the 6th. It has a sweet conjunction with Venus, all at 16°! Jupiter moves into Gemini May 25, becoming Gemini’s anchor planet too! This is the last 2024 Stellium!

The 2024 stelliums finish early June, so get them noted on your calendar to specially use their potency specific per sign! See about them all! Check in with your astrologer to see what you can glean and give.

Saturn in Pisces, the last sign of the Zodiac, is a time of reckoning, getting clear with your Soul! It is also maturity and completion. The dreams of all the signs merge and become collective desire, an ultimate responsibility. Saturn can harness those dreams and build them to come true!

Compared with Pisces’ sensitivity, Saturn can seem to be a brutally blunt instrument at times. Pisces is not used to being limited or channeled or pummeled into submission by someone else’s command. At times he simply, like water, slips through your fingers. Just the same, Saturn may bar or protect you from an experience, or demand you to take your responsibility in its behalf or to let go because it’s done now! One or all can be a blessing or an ordeal to each other, probably a little of each until they get used to each other. Pisces understands Saturn all too well. Sometimes Saturn simply just loves giving orders; it’s what he does. Pisces wants so much more. Orders without a spiritual cause, without Soul or empathy are short of the mark. Saturn may be a bit shy about that factor. He may be a little intimidated by this limitless wonder who often calls the shots better than any business man Saturn has ever encountered. Respect starts. Pisces realizes Saturn is more deep than anticipated and has good intent though Saturn’s demeanor may belie that at first.

Saturn is generally in a sign about 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 years, so we aren’t talking about a minor experience. As it traverses ALL your chart factors, you will feel different facets of the experience. Some will be more difficult than others. You might see your astrologer to track its path while in the sign. If you are a Pisces, a super sensitive sign, you especially may find it helpful, collecting your powers and applying them with astute psychic accuracy. When Saturn believes in you, he will do his best to see your dreams built and come true! If your Saturn is in Pisces, at some point during Saturn in Pisces, you will be having your 28/29 year Saturn Return! It may be a profound time of knowing the Dharma of your life, refreshing, updating your outlook on your purpose this life.

Saturn in Pisces is importantly about building empathy. Empathy will be much needed as Pluto goes through Aquarius, and retrogrades back into Saturn’s sign Capricorn! Saturn will guard us from having too much empathy too long, being naive and misplacing our empathy, being scammed. Saturn humbles us to let go of our arrogance, develop a deep caring. With Pluto in Aquarius there will be intense awareness of great differences among the peoples, from hatred to fear, cults to family feuds, simple misunderstanding. We will need to get to know each other and it won’t be overnight. Saturn was new in his sign for only 17 days before Pluto became new in Aquarius! Each made newbie mistakes, were alternately excited or OMG, what have we gotten into, what have I done?! In the beginning trial and error slowed us down, making for tiring long days for many. Saturn in Pisces holds the visions and though sometimes down hearted, will usually come through steady and doing his best even with tough odds. Some will try to take advantage of vulnerabilities; others will stumble along, while still others will stand back and look for new ways to heal the planet! There will become amazing love of people and things we never expected.

With Saturn in Pisces, there will be reality checks on that wandering Pisces imagination. Saturn figures out how to put it to work! There will be less wandering aimlessly, confirmation of the realities of dreams, daily visible progress, oceanic trade and environmental laws to be made. They will survey the seas and shores, the importance of millions of miles of shorelines, prevention of pollution – debris and chemicals, assurance of abundant long term ocean harvests. Saturn may find himself on an ocean safari while in Pisces, or gone on the wind taking the computers to the surf zone when the surf’s up, whichever continent that may be on! Working from ‘home’ takes on new meaning! Really! Can be done!

On land, Saturn in Pisces may bring a deluge of cold water and ice, more snow. Or there may be no water at all. Water conservation and collection may be undertaken due to new insights as to the severity of conditions. In Pisces, Saturn is sextile Capricorn, his own sign. Capricorn may give successful fundamental oversight in guiding these important projects, reviewing and updating, keeping them on track. He tracks to be sure Pisces’ good intentions are carried out! Cold wet OR hot and dry, building secure shelters will be a necessity. In hot times cooling the land, building cool sustainable homes, setting up cooling shelters, and air conditioners, may be vital. There is satisfaction at holding an important piece of life in your hands and doing good by it! Any congratulations are well earned. Saturn in Pisces

Neptune is in his own sign, so he is carrying the purity of Pisces. He has already laid ground work for Saturn, knowing that he is coming. He is the God of the Sea, the old Master of Spirituality! He is the Dreamer, the All See-er. Saturn is the planet of the 3rd/last Earth sign, the Master of Grounding and practical magic, carries the wisdom of elder hood. They each help each other. Saturn guards Neptune’s delicate fragilities, vulnerabilities while dreaming, seeing. Neptune sensitizes Saturn further than ever before, showing him how to be safe in the process. Neptune is getting stronger in applying his insights. Saturn is gaining perspective. Even the strong are powerless at times and they often do even better when that state is achieved.

Neptune enters ARIES March 30, 2025 with the imminent April 4 Saturn sextile Uranus! It’s the sign change that inaugurates the 100 Days of FOUR Outer Planets sign changes in 2025! In Aries, Neptune is in a harmonious sign with Pluto in Aquarius, Fire and Air signs. It’s a new era  for them, and they will make their final 13 sextiles July 24 to Sep 15, 2026 through Feb 29, 2032 from 4 to 14° Aries/Aquarius! This completes their 82 years sextile! 

Neptune in Aries is a 168 year sign change. Neptune has been strengthening is his own sign Pisces since Feb 3, 2012. He will retrograde back into Pisces 10.22.25 until 1.26.26, then stays in Aries until May ’38/Mar ’39, 14 years. Neptune’s rep is the same as it’s sign Pisces, spiritual, psychic, dreamer, compassion. Artist, musician, drugs/alcohol. Fisherman, cruise ships, lover of the sea and world, preacher, savior, baptism. He has been preparing to launch into Aries. It will take all kinds of strength to make his insights come to life! Aries will help him. Many times he has stood alone with his beliefs, sometimes hiding for his life, sometimes the victim of his life, now, comparatively speaking, he’s out in the open. It will be steamy! Time for steam baths and sweat lodges, steam cleaning your vehicles engine! Aries is the sign of Initiation, firsts, leadership. Aries has always been intuitive, as first responders have proved, but now he will be even more so. And there will be a more spiritual component. Aries may be feisty, is a great mechanic! Neptune sees him, his temptations to break the rules. And at times that’s exactly what they will do as they bring outstanding changes into play!

JUPITER entered Taurus May 16 2023! It was a damper for some, while for others it offered a rest and a deep organic sense of well being! It will heat up education and advocacy for Earth, our home. Some have been waiting so long for the coming significant changes. Once in Taurus, Jupiter does retrograde, but stays in Taurus until moving into Gemini May 25, 2024. It’s cycle is 11-12 years, so those of you with your own Jupiter in Taurus/Gemini will be having your Jupiter returns!

Jupiter, Sagittarius’s planet, is looking for purpose with integrity! It takes a core truth and educates as many as will listen to why it is meaningful and worthy. Jupiter has a bold and confident way, expands, embellishes, gives extra! It’s edifying, LOL! Jupiter likes to play and tell whopper stories, laughs big laughs with gusto, has a great big dog and rides the winning horse! The sign lucky Jupiter is in, is the sign that succeeds and prospers, the sign that trainings occur in. Major tours are possible and successful impossible dreams come true! It’s time to push the river a bit while the Gateway is open!

Jupiter in Taurus may be slower, but none the less powerful. In a ‘fixed’ sign, he likely holds strong opinions and possibly a wrestling trophy! His bench presses are phenomenal. He has staying power like long distance truckers. Marathons are no problem. He likes money whether on the hoof, cash in pocket or reliably invested, especially in land and minerals. Taurus loves touch, sex, massage, natural beauty, fine scents, good food and common sense. Calm restfulness, centered peace, being grounded, having patience are treasured traits. Jupiter in Taurus simplifies, installs and grounds the successful new projects, makes them sustainable, maintains and upgrades them for posterity. In Taurus he organizes vast estates, recovers the lands’ fertility, stockpiles the finest materials for future use. He has one of the strongest, most healthy beautiful bodies around! See more Jupiter in Taurus    May 25 2024 Jupiter goes into Gemini while the Sun is IN Gemini!    Jupiter’s exciting next aspect is the super financial June 2 Jupiter trine Pluto! It happens only Once, so get your financial research done and be ready to invest in the best!

As signs change, talents are commingled, the Path between them becoming a usable channel. Jupiter in Pisces, Aries and Taurus, soon also Gemini, will develop their own smooth channels. In Pisces-Aries, it is super aware, sensitive, instantly reactive! Groups of crusaders are attracting and further developing adept leaders, rich with innovative foresight! The beauty of the Aries to Taurus transition is that Aries passes the baton to Taurus for safekeeping! Taurus holds the precious ideas of Aries until they can take root, are successfully able to maintain their own life. Taurus to Gemini is like sharing all the valuable information Taurus has guarded that Gemini may scatter it across the world! We can all think about it, add our own, further disperse it! Biodiversity at its finest. When Pluto entered Aquarius, Jupiter was at 17° Aries in a FIVE planets Aries stellium including Sun and Moon, a double Aries Chart! Aries is THE Action sign! That’s what I call a NEW beginning! See the stunning chart!.

A LOT is happening in Taurus this year, not only during Taurus but throughout the year! Live the magic! Go through the Portals! Please see the complete Taurus Newsletter – the Annual Celestial Highlights Overview Section! Thanks!

May 25 Jupiter into Gemini! Abundant brilliant diversity!

100 Days of FOUR Outer Planets sign changes in 2025! Be ready to make many adjustments throughout 2025! There are a LOT of aspects in 2025! No matter what you are doing or planning now, what you plan for each of them, as the signs change, so will your plans! Three of those sign changes are more long term and are the backdrop for the planets aspecting each other. Two of the planets and Pluto are higher consciousness planets. Some changes will just happen – no previous thought, as part of the ungovernable sweeping collective consciousness proceeding at its own level.

What we need to do now is finish up what we have going. Get ready for being able to be flexible, standing strong on our foundation.

What we want now will quickly be the past as new beginnings of all kinds require our full attention! With Pluto already having been in Aquarius, intense with new ideas, new perspectives are bursting forward inspiring us to fresh freedoms never had before or even anticipated. Genius ideas are worth doing, no going back! The old will be replaced by the new with no apologies. There will be fumbles, but no stopping. Things will go forward!

They will most strongly be felt by those of you with planets in the last 3 degrees of signs and the 0, 1, 2 and 3 degrees of a sign. In late degrees, you always live on the brink, bringing things to maturity, readying and setting the foundation for the leap into new territory. Those of you in those three earliest degrees are always eager for inspiring new beginnings, living on chances and exploration, being the first, sometimes pure and innocent! We will be trialing new ground. Give it a chance. Nothing will be settled right away. Creation is in full swing! Evolution continues.

Mar 30 Neptune, on its 168 year cycle, arrives in Aries, stays through March 2039!
May 24 Saturn goes into Aries too, a 29 year change, 2¼ to 2½ year stay!
June 9 Jupiter goes home into Cancer. Sign per year.
July 7 Uranus zips out of Taurus into Gemini, on an 84 year cycle, a 7 year sign shift.

It could easily take a year after that to make adjustments and settle into the changes and new wants.

With these planets on such differing lengths of cycles, how rare for them all to change signs in only 100 Days! If you thought things were popping with Pluto at only 2, 3 degrees Aquarius, wait until these change all at once and activate him more! Keep your eyes open and hang onto your sox!

Neptune and Saturn will be sextile from Aries. Uranus will be trine from Gemini. Three positive launch combinations support Aquarius in these early new times. Jupiter is skeptical from traditional Cancer, but sees the others doing well and soon feels safe to join in. After all, someone has to mind the store and the kids, keep everyone fed, give hugs to the hard workers, no matter how old or odd they are, LOL! Besides, Cancer is a great business person, especially with successful, fame and fortune Jupiter in her sign! Fun too!

2024 April – June TAURUS and June GEMINI Stelliums!

Stelliums are Potent Gatherings of Planets & Talents composed of Separate Forces in Union! Beautiful Goddess Women Dancing ~

April to June TIMELINE Taurus-Gemini Stelliums!

Stelliums are magical living planetary systems! They ebb and flow as planets join and leave. There may be a slower moving anchor planet(s) that is key throughout. It maintains the master message as each planet, in turn, contributes their unique wisdom and energy as they enter and leave in divine timing. All the planets merge with each other being of the same sign energy. The whole becomes greater than the parts! Some stelliums have no anchor planet, as if appearing like a cloud then vaporizing altogether. Watch how they change the stellium’s flavors as the planets change positions. A little group of three may become four, then five or more, then one by one, they return to three as planets move along, then they disperse altogether, leaving perhaps only an invisible imprint, a memory. But maybe they gift us with a new talent, special people, new ways of merging expertise. Never underestimate their potency.

The whole event can happen to you alone, and at the same time, you with others combining all your skills! Each planet is separate yet all are blending, merging. Camaraderie, multiplicity, intensity. Stelliums can be a captivating and an encapsulating experience not to be missed! Those of you with planets in these signs will be especially engaged, especially if you have a natal stellium in the same sign! You might enjoy looking up the sequence of your own stellium, when you were born, to see the significance of the moment you stepped into life, the special part that is emphasized for you that you play in the stellium that you give to us.

Omega – Alpha! As a circle, the Zodiac symbolizes life never ending, the Infinity of the Soul. The Pisces ~ Aries sequence represented the profound time of the last zodiac sign Pisces passing the baton to the first zodiac sign, Aries. Completion, maturity, comprehension, ending, letting go releasing, blessings, to Initiation and New Beginnings, the future dreams made to become true! Now, in the Taurus – Gemini stelliums sequence, Taurus anchor the valuable gains Aries has inaugurated and Gemini spreads the good word, shows us how to put them into use, continues to add to the data bank.

These 2024 Stelliums finish in June as the inner planets pass by the outer planets. The charts will disperse from focused Bundle formations, spread to Bowls, and explore onward with more diversity. Bundles, Bowls   Bucket, Fan & Seesaw Charts

Our Full and New Moons have been and continue to be potent and pregnant with stelliums! Both Pisces Full and New Moons had 4 planet stelliums in Pisces and the so did the Mar 25 Aries Lunar Eclipse Full Moon!  April 8 was the FIVE planets Aries TOTAL Solar ECLIPSE! April 23, has a three sign mini stellium series! May 7 New Moon has FIVE in Taurus; the May 23 Flower Moon has 4 in Taurus! The last lunar event having a stellium is June 6’s FIVE in Gemini New Moon!

Many have been feeling this intensity, and will continue to. Different signs offer special methods, and with the mixes of planets and each of their talents as well, a lot is being offered. Some long standing matters will be sorted out and healed as several fixes can get applied all at once. It’s a rich experience!

The first stelliums were in Pisces, 46 days and Aries 15 days!

Pisces specializes in Perception – hearing, seeing, sensitivity, insights, dreams. Music, visions, knowing without seeing or knowledge, super awareness, feeling color, imagination, connection with Spirit, unseen dimensions. Leads to empathy, compassion, understanding, serenity. Can be a pretender, sometimes suffering addiction or chronic disease, or a Savior, one who guides the Soul’s passage from one realm to another. It’s a different kind of intelligence, a wisdom of its own kind, spiritual Grace.

Aries is super charged, has mental and physical prowess! Courageous and fearless fast thinkers, they are first to leap forward, a leader fast on his feet, warrior, protector, defender, rescuer! Front liner, stands up for you, children, animals, policeman, fireman, all around champion. As a life saving first responder, healer, his intuition is instantaneous and amazingly accurate. Nothing stops them. They drive like demons and win the races, do the healing. Their inspiration can’t be beat! Those physical therapists have you back on your feet in no time! You are breathing big! Thank the stars! See their post!

The two last 2024 Stellium signs are Taurus and Gemini, have 3 Five Planets Stelliums! 

TAURUS is grounded, but can charge if provoked! He will provide for you, defend you, hold you, strengthen you. Organic worth and simplicity are basic tenets. Being comfortable, kind and gracious, peaceful, taking time to think, are markers he is noted for. He loves the land and our earth, animals, living in harmony with habitat. Relationships can be long with mutual respect and kindly patience, valuing the differences, each has to offer. Generally he won’t be pushed around, so go in knowing negotiations might take a bit longer, but will be worth every minute. If successful, there will be long term steady returns and you will have a good friend. He can sit like the Buddha, or stand in a field, savoring the Universe while finding the best blessed answers.

The 25 day Taurus Stellium has four-five planets starting April 29 to May 23. It has TWO 5 planet stelliums, one is 5 days, May 15-20! That second(!) in Taurus 5 planet stellium has a super FOUR planet conjunction of Venus in its own sign, with Uranus, Sun, and Jupiter, all in only 8 degrees! As Venus closes with Uranus on the 18th, they are in only 6 degrees!  

Taurus has two outer planet anchors, Uranus and Jupiter! Uranus is the collective consciousness of humanity. It is a genius with freedom in mind, creator and inventor! It enjoys being single, uninterrupted, living with its computer. Sometimes there are many friends, all so different and intriguing! Taurus is encountering a huge range of ideas and possible systems. He is sensible, so takes advantage of the amazing ideas at his fingertips. Uranus even offers the most amazing ways to do it! Uranus has been in Taurus since May 15, 2018, is now in its final time. It will end April 25, 2026, a total of 8 years. He has been electrifying every earthly molecule. Uranus’ consort was Gaia (Gaea), the earth, Taurus!  We have been witnessing many earth changes…and they will continue.

Jupiter makes for plentiful crops in Taurus. Travel is by earth, autos, campers, pack trains, trains. It is more leisurely and appreciative, even meditational like the Buddha seeking Peace. Jupiter tells the stories, some funny, others full of ideas gathered along the way, joyfully embellished and thought provoking. He is always the teacher. In Taurus he may keep it more sensible and practical. Keeping up to date is refreshing! Relationships may get more usefully connected as profound thoughts are shared. Jupiter may just up and leave. Taurus may not be happy, but sees the truth and purpose of it. Health may be taken care of more completely as options are realized. Our body is our basic vehicle traveling life. It needs good care.

Jupiter is in each sign about a year, so this is it! He is finishing Taurus NOW, May 25, into Gemini. So he is engaging in both the Taurus AND Gemini stelliums! He links them! He passes the baton with Taurus wisdoms to Gemini to explore and promote!

GEMINI is a complicated communications specialist! All kinds. They have a lot of flex, are fast minded, quick to learn, enjoy fast games/sports like tennis, gymnastics. They do get distracted, so check on their progress, regroup on priorities, keep right on going for it! They are curious and generally wide eyed, friendly, enthusiastic, and can find out anything! Campaigns are right up their ally. Sales are easy. Relationships tend to be multiple and fascinating! Health is lungs, allergies, hands and arms. They can be funny, pickpockets and tricksters! They do walk and talk, are fascinating serial story tellers, LOL. Have them write the script. Set your silent alarm and excuse yourself to keep your own schedule. Healing by laying on of hands is one of their precious skills.

Gemini’s outer anchor planet becomes Jupiter! Gemini is opposite Jupiter’s sign Sagittarius! There is a complete spread of ideas implied! Gemini loves every particle of anything that can carry the breath of life! Jupiter enjoys the world’s entire buffet of being! They love exploration, mind expansion, implosion, explosions of awareness! Gemini wants to know how it fits, while Jupiter wants to know what it means, its perspective in life’s principles! Gemini is generally neighborly, loves siblings and twins, is close at hand in the community. Jupiter has chain stores, loves imports/exports, travel biz. Gemini does ads/promos while Jupiter writes and publishes books, holds conferences around the world. Together they cover the bases! They can marry foreigners, speak several languages. Oddly, Jupiter can be quite opinionated, even prejudiced, but generally they both are quite broadminded. Gemini can have allergies, but Jupiter may keep him too busy to notice and he’s gotta keep up! Burn out is possible. We will all learn how and when to take rest. Watch your quality of food especially when you are busiest!

The stellium is June 3 to 16, only 13 days, but potent it is! June 5-7 has Five planets in Gemini, the New Moon on the 6th. It has a sweet conjunction with Venus, all at 16°! Love, appreciation, affection, kindness, beauty, grace, blessings! Say those words you want to say! Do explain why you haven’t spoken before. No gossip please. If you are on a data gathering mission, now is the time to spread the word and seek results! Take some super training on computer, writing, massage, laying on of hands. Attend a fab conference. Let people know what you have to offer. Write, write, write! Accept the offer to do some public speaking, and up your resume. Expand your breath. Keep your eyes wide open and scanning. Notice motion. Mimic the best! Have fun, keep your molecules Happy, live longer, LOL! Run the race with gusto!

The Taurus-Gemini stelliums follow the April 20 Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Taurus! It’s taking many planets to sort and store infos and exploits of the amazing conjunction, focusing on the important principles of Taurus. They are concurrently stabilizing the platform for Jupiter sextile Neptune May 23, and 3 days later Jupiter’s 11/12 year shift into Gemini May 25! This is Jupiter’s last aspect in Taurus, no going back. His first aspect in Gemini will be right away; June 2 is Jupiter trine Pluto! We all want to be well grounded and ready for that combination! Financial potential!

April 23 Scorpio-Taurus Full Pink Moon! 

Tuesday April 23, 4:49 PM Pacific at 4 Scorpio-Taurus 18!                    

Work together for planetary goals, mindful of the offerings of one sign to the next ~

Strong Scorpio Moon peeking through the clouds, wanting her privacy, but sooo curious.

The Taurus Full and New Moons follow the April 20 Jupiter conjunct Uranus! It’s taking the many planets, of the Moons and stelliums, to sort and store infos and exploits of the amazing conjunction, focusing on the important principles of Taurus. They are concurrently stabilizing the platform for Jupiter sextile Neptune May 23, and 3 days later is Jupiter’s 11/12 year shift into Gemini May 25! This is Jupiter’s last aspect in Taurus, no going back. His first aspect in Gemini will be right away; June 2 is Jupiter trine Pluto! We all want to be well grounded and ready for that combination! Financial potential!

This Full Moon chart has powerful features! The most unusual is 3 signs in a row are having 3 planets each, 3 mini stelliums! The inner planets, except Mama Moon, are mingling with the outer planets. The very last sign, Pisces of Dreams for all, Aries the first, the Action Master, Taurus founders that stabilize and tend the Keepers!

• Mars is ringing the Pisces ashram bells, has leapt on the fire truck, is rushing to the concert! He has passed Saturn. they were incredibly productive, made some records all their own. With Neptune, Mars is challenging old untouchable tenets, spiritual premises, and making some headway! Some are scared, what’s next?! Some are thankful and cheering him on! Old rules are being broken, maybe too many too quickly. New rules are being made and are up for testing. That goes for Pisces businesses as well – cruise ships, seaside enterprises, saving oceanic habitat, fishing, many more. The art world is changing with AI on the front. Music, film and theater are making arresting shifts! Mars is making dreams come true! He’s coming right up and calling you out to let go of any addictions you hide and carry! Release yourself from the darkness of your own making. Mars is quite the Tiger. He is so independent he doesn’t usually merge, but being in Pisces with Neptune the Pisces planet, he may feel himself unaccountably experiencing a joining of Souls. He may surprise all, and join the Ashram himself!
• Chiron in Aries is between Mercury and Venus! Venus dropped the blessings Sunday, the 21st. She admired his courage, fight for better health and meaningful business, was excited by his new ideas and how quickly he implements them! She in turn picked up some health and leadership tips and he touched her heart.
  .
  Mercury went past Chiron, saw him again while retrograde. Mercury in Aries is wasting no time, carrying his words and thinking to the people. He is Retrograde in his Mercury Direct station that started Sunday the 21st, so the blessings Venus brought, and Chiron’s informations, are being held still while Mercury ponders, synthesizes and chooses and anchors the keepers that will be held in the foundation for reference in ongoing distribution. Mercury technically goes forward April 25, but wait until after the 28th for the station to finish and Mercury gains forward motion. Mercury will make his final conjunction with Chiron May 6. Time to celebrate some mind/mental healing that has occurred. Chiron will be delighted at Mercury’s quick progress. Hi and goodbye, see you next year!
  .
  The Moon’s North Node is right there with Mercury, both retrograde. Retro is NN’s general motion. Mercury’s direct degree is 15 Aries 58, so he doesn’t make the exact connection with NN. NN gets away, slowly continues his 19 year circuit! But they have been together Mercury’s entire 8 Day direct station. Of the North and South Node axis, the North is working to balance the two opposite signs involved. The South was in Libra of partnerships. We are working toward Aries independence. Mercury has been emphasizing independence with his stay in Aries. This has been a profound boon to the North Node, practically dwelling in the Aries mind, learning from his thinking!
• Sun in Taurus hasn’t caught up yet with Uranus and Jupiter, but he will! With Uranus May 13, the day the Mercury cycle ends! Change and freedom! Time for a new ID card! Sun is self aware, Himself! With humanitarian networker Uranus he becomes a friend with others at new levels. Whether there is an organization or loose alliances that check in with each other to keep informed, the new connections will be valuable and all will make greater progress together. Taurus takes his time and is excellent at assessing useful, real, sensible, associations. Generally you can trust him and he will be there for you.
  .
  Sun with Jupiter happens May 18 at 11:45 AM Pacific. If your chart factors connect (see your Astrologers), take advantage of this specially lucky, fame and fortune aspect! If you are an over eater, get some specially right food and feast easy the whole week and a few days after this conjunction. Taurus loves their food. If you are opening a BNB with a restaurant, now is the time! See your astrologer if that is true for you! If it is select your perfect date and time. If you are taking a trip, make it a road trip, see the country, take the train, take your time and really enjoy it. Camp or glamp! Go to the family cowboy ranch camp. School is ending for many, have a hella proud grad party! This is also a super valuable time to start some education for financial purposes – business and investment skills. Get a coach or a mentor that lives what they teach! Finish your book and publish it! Show your big pooch at the dog show!
  .
  Mars recently sextiled Uranus and Jupiter, so he has spiced up their intents and purposes! It’s not just what your do, but, Pisces style, it’s why you do it, what the Soul wants! They are energized by Mars’ actions that make you believe he is with you. Uranus moves with bigger steps knowing the time is NOW. Jupiter knows the script is nothing without making it happen! A story, a movie are just the beginning!
• Since Jupiter has passed Uranus as of their super recent conjunction April 20, he is now the outer planet group leader. He is learning the ropes and will do well. He is robust, has fearless courage, can be generous, always the teacher with plans for the future. While in Taurus he won’t be rushed. He will steady things as he searches out flaws in the foundation, simplifies and updates. His first aspect in his leadership position, and last in Taurus, is sextile Neptune May 23. He moves into Gemini May 25! He immediately trines Pluto, his first aspect in Gemini, on June 2! This can have very profitable possibilities! Further changes will be inaugurated!

The second strong feature of this chart is its formation! It’s a Moon Bucket chart, but let me explain. Pluto is closest to the tight group, but is also the point of a Powerful T Square formed with the Full Moon axis! Moon stands opposite the group, the Bucket handle, on her own but is strongly tied with the group!

Pluto, at the red triangle point, is at a 2° T Square point! He is closer to the tight 3 sign group, but is entirely working with the Full Moon axis! Moon leads the chart; but Pluto leads the T she’s in! He leads with Aquarian aplomb, pure genius, and a powerful desire for freedom and world change! Our Full Moon axis is just past Pluto, but believe me, not forgotten! Pluto Ts are not usually all peaches and cream. If something needs detoxing or cleanup, stuff or attitude, there can be intense consequences. There is likely a merciless program about to start! Give up what you can, but scream if you have too!

Pluto is the planet of Scorpio, Moon’s sign! Sun squared Pluto the day after the Jupiter Uranus conjunction, April 21, the day the Mercury direct station started. So as we talked about the North Node energy being carried forward in Mercury’s ponderings, so will the dramatic events of the Sun square Pluto. Mercury itself is fairly neutral, but in Aries, isn’t. They are passionate about things they fight for. Aries will push and tumble the ideas around in Mercury’s head and not all matters will be resolved. Aries keeps getting ideas from the ideas and their scrambled juxtapositions. It’s a creative tempest!

Moon square Pluto happens only hours before the Full Moon, at 12:27 PM, the FM at 4:49 PM Pacific. The play is already happening before Moon is 100% opposite Sun, who hasn’t forgotten the previous events either. Moon takes her cue from him and the stories are revived, unfinished business has another chance to be resolved. Moon is in Scorpio, Pluto’s sign, a camaraderie. She is even more sensitive to Pluto’s part in things, for better and worse, and he of her’s. Pluto nor Scorpio always forgive easily, so try not to be harsh or mean. Their ultimate intention is to detox and heal. And healing is often painful, looking at the demons, including your own. Letting go is not always easy. Keep yourself fortified with companions that know you can do it, remind you that you have prevailed before. Have experts at your fingertips in case you need them.

Squares can be blocks or impediments that save you. They can be breakthroughs and the lights come ON! They can be uphill or over the cliff in a landslide. Be aware of your surroundings; don’t miss the helping hand that is extended. Even your seeming adversary can help you! 3D cubes can be building blocks! Think of your life in the hands of the Great Contractor!

Pluto and both Taurus and Scorpio have Money in common. Taurus wants his own, in his pocket, in the safe, worthy land, properties under his feet, mines and minerals. Loves animals. He invests in his body and fitness, cosmetics, beauty surgeries. Sets up enduring foundations. Scorpio and his planet Pluto are associated with corporations, mega organizations like churches, hospitals, research, banks, insurance, casinos, prisons, major wars, sex industries, malls, chains of anything from groceries to clothing to hotels – income from many sources. They are strongly political. They also offer habitat restoration, detox – bodily and pollution, and healing in the most extreme circumstances. They don’t mind danger and can look at anything, may enjoy forensics.

They both like sex. Taurus is more slow and easy, simple, natural scents. They love touching, massage. Scorpio is often well read on the topic, is intense, doesn’t always mind a little pain. Scents can be intoxicating and they might like some special wines. They can be awesome tantric lovers!

When Sun in Taurus faced off with Pluto in Aquarius, it was perhaps personal versus a large group, a corporation like a City. Taurus wants to protect his land and perhaps his grazing animals, his own. At times the out-wait them tactic works. With Pluto now in Aquarius that is less likely the best option. Aquarius is smart, less obedient to lengthy bureaucratic procedures, so may get right to it. Maybe there were seemingly unnatural revisions, changes that needed to be made to long standing practices that Sun objected to. To make it worse they would be costly to implement. Sun may have made rightful demands for refunds and costs and Pluto didn’t want to give it up. Aquarius also rules banking, so at times is amazingly old fashioned. Believe it. At times Pluto can get bitter about certain things, and Taurus rarely surrenders. Hmm… Scorpio, AQ and Taurus are what we call fixed signs. They endure, sometimes translated as stubborn. With Pluto, Scorpio’s planet in Aquarius, even AQ might not want as much change, or goes crazy being held in check! Yet change is inevitable, even changing against his own thinking. He is, after all, the Sign of r/evolution!

Maybe Mother Moon will be the go between? She is Sun’s counterpart and in Pluto’s sign. She is the Mother, and people listen to Moms for good reason! She simply knows a lot. It’s not just knowing, it’s also the feelings behind it all. She knows about the whole zodiac, goes through each sign every 27 days. She is by nature more flexible due to her multitude of observations. She sees the sign to sign methods and links, sees them as they have changed month to month, year after year. And she often has kids. You gotta keep up with growing kids and families! She is an amazing reservoir of knowledge, has great depth of observation in Scorpio. She knows where the bodies are buried, LOL! And, she’s a bad ass healer of emotions, and near death matters! Gratitude.

Moon and Bucket! Moon is usually thought of as the leader of a bucket chart, but sometimes the thrust of the group is in the Bucket planets. As a group they can clear the way for Moon! Or, who knows, maybe she is escaping, LOL! Her as the leader knows how to make connections, spread the news about what their work is. She can negotiate, make alliances and sales, get their needs met! If the Bucket planets lead, they can protect her so she can get her work done, provide her needs collectively, keep her up to date from each planet! At times they and she may switch leads!

A little differently for this Full Moon I’m thinking of the three stellium tight group as having the base and lead planet. They are old friends, Saturn and Jupiter. Saturn in Pisces is base planet making spiritual considerations the basic reasons for being steady in the Light. Empathy for what is not working in our world, calls us to make corrections. We have lost, now it is time to create from Source, think of wholeness, our whole planet. Saturn can succeed valiantly, well beyond ordinary dreams. The base planet is always taking care of the stragglers, ones who need help – maybe sore feet, and restore their excitement for the journey! Leave no one behind.

Lead planet Jupiter forges ahead checking for safe and enjoyable passage! He is like the Kokopelli, dancing, playing his flute along the Path, a bit wicked and a lot funny! His big spirited great ideas are inspiring. He carries the news, teaches, brings fresh offerings and comparative insights that upgrade local skills! In Taurus they are sensible and easy to implement now that others have already worked out the bugs.

Neptune and Pluto are both ‘lead planets’ by way of the duration of their connection! Now that Pluto is in Aquarius, ahead of Neptune, who is moving a tad slower, they are making an out-of-sign sextile. Neptune is the Pisces planet in PISCES! He has a certain lead because of that alone. But Neptune and Pluto’s orbits have been and will be connected in a remarkable 82 year connection! At 28°, he is in the last degree of the chart and in the last degrees of Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac. Through Pluto’s new ways of seeing, he gives Neptune glimpses of times to come. Neptune is already in progress helping the masses understand. Collective advances, access to improving perception are being put in place. Pluto has led the way into Aquarius. Neptune will lead into Aries March of 2025. Each are taking us to more independence and freedom, thinking more creatively. That sign shift will mark the first of four outer planets sign changes in 100 Days in 2025! New times, fresh starts.

Importantly, LUNAR PATTERNS often hold for months, one sign after the other. You with chart factors at or within a degree or two of these patterns that repeat, will be activated from each different sign sequentially. This Full Moon is part of the 5° Full Moon Cycle! 5° Oct 28, 2023 to March 25 2024. April 23 at 4°.  7 moons! This April 23rd Scorpio/Taurus is the last.

Again, the Taurus Full and New Moons follow the April 20 Jupiter conjunct Uranus! It’s taking the many planets, of the Moons and stelliums, to sort and store infos and exploits of the amazing conjunction, focusing on the important principles of Taurus. They are concurrently stabilizing the platform for May 23’s Full Flower Moon 6:53 AM Pacific, 1:29 AM Venus conjunct Jupiter, 2:44 PM Jupiter Sextile Neptune! 3 days later is Jupiter’s 11/12 year shift into Gemini May 25! This is Jupiter’s last aspect in Taurus, no going back. His first aspect in Gemini will be right away; June 2 is Jupiter trine Pluto! We all want to be well grounded and ready for that combination! Financial potential!

Jupiter can be lucky for Earth, expands earth events, education, perspectives of long term value. Do be thinking on what you would like to see happen. Allow your mind to sweep the environment, to expand what you aspire to. Yes, we have seen huge earth events, some not seeming so lucky, but in the long term we will do better with these kinds of events as we plan ahead to use them rather than suffer destruction.

May 7 Taurus New Moon!

In 2024, the best time to see earthshine the second time is a few days before and after the New Moon May 7 (date may vary depending on the time zone). The Waxing and Waning Crescent Moon phases in April and May are the best times to see earthshine, where the unlit part of the Moon becomes visible. It is also known as Da Vinci glow. See best viewing times and more about earthshine!

8:22 PM Pacific Tuesday at 18 Taurus 02! 

Plenty of excitement! Make Love and Beauty. Cherish your many Blessings!

Anza-Borrego CA is an international dark sky area! Night bloomer Dune evening primrose is living up to its name. Wildflower super bloom glowing magically under the Milky Way. This year’s rains have led to an incredible blanket of flowers coinciding nicely with the return of the Milky Way core. So much fun exploring the desert looking for the perfect composition. Hopefully they last until the next new moon. Thanks to Chris Olivas for this splendid beauty!

Bundles are the rarest chart pattern! No more Bundle charts will be formed after Jupiter gets into mid Leo 2026 for a   v e r y   long time. See more about them for exceptional talents!

.

Like Our very focused 108° four signs Bundle chart March 10, with its 4 Planets Pisces stellium New Moon, the April 8 TOTAL Solar Eclipse New Moon was a Four Sign Bundle chart in 109° with a FIVE power packed planets in an Aries stellium!

• Now, May 7, the third 4 Signs New Moon Bundle chart in a row is spread a little further, 113°, but is plenty hefty with another FIVE planet stellium, this time in Taurus! It carries some weight, has strength and determination.
• June 6 will be the last 2024 Bundle chart with a big spread of 135° over five signs. It includes the last 2024 stellium, has FIVE planets in Gemini! It’s going to be lively!

Bundles have a base planet and lead planet. Base planet Pluto in Aquarius is exploring the heavenly realm, the entire area of the planet’s sky cover and all that is associated with that – weather, climate, flight, air quality, allergies, how we breathe. Detoxing and healing will be intensely researched for our planet’s life and our own. As base planet, Pluto is working hard to bring stragglers along, as they say, no one left behind. Pluto makes it as comfortable as possible for them to stay with us, inspires each to give as they can. He points out how fervently many are working for the future, personal, planetary, politically, monetarily, human rights, and how meaningful our contributions are. Aquarius is humanity; we have the internet, so things are working better and faster than ever before. We are not alone, and well connected. No, it isn’t perfect, but major change is collectively happening. We have many words and concepts in use today that didn’t exist 20 years ago. Stay with it.

Jupiter in Taurus is lead planet! His May 23 sextile with Neptune in Pisces, at the final degree of their signs, is the CORE aspect of this chart! This is a planetary aspect of Earth and Sea. Mother Earth, Taurus, deserves the best and Jupiter IS the best, LOL! He is charming and grand, a playful storyteller, whistles while he works and everyone joins in not missing the fun! He teaches, publishes, produces. In Taurus he loves hands on experience, feels the soil under his feet. This combination happens in schools, by the shore, at the mountain temple with Soul seeing views, anywhere. Jupiter and Neptune involve revelation, both are see-ers. Jupiter has long and wide vision. Neptune is the dreamer, connects with the timeless Soul. Jupiter wants the highest Truth possible. Neptune wants purity of purpose of your whole life. Both are dedicated. Jupiter wants to have fun while doing it. He hollers with joy! Go tell it on the mountain! He likes being outdoors with God’s makings. When Pisces isn’t surfing or making music and films, at the spa, he’s meditating, taking a real time out. Patient kindness and infinite compassion are meaningful to them. See more!

Jupiter’s tap with Neptune makes him an extraordinarily talented leader. He seeks their best Path for their searchings for life’s greatest gifts. He has superb confidence and Taurus doesn’t frighten the horses. Jupiter’s tribe has a lot to offer and the sweet offerings are well received, in turn bringing great returns. Neptune’s psychic and deep spiritual guidance helps Jupiter to be spot on – right time, place and connections with right people. A blessed camaraderie happens.

All the Taurus planets, all the chart’s planets, have passed Pluto’s early Aquarian degree. Mars entered his own sign Aries April 30 at 8:33 AM Pacific, Venus squared Pluto in the evening 9:30 PM Pacific. Moon squared Pluto May 6 at 6:08 PM Pacific. Venus was probably able to give Moon some good advice in preparation. Feminine Venus and Moon look at issues of respect. Pluto in Aquarius has mixed intensity of attention to complete detachment. Confuses everyone including himself. He is having to get used to it. To be able to have both skills can be very useful if applied appropriately. Venus and Moon involve love, romantic and parental. Both find home and security important. Pluto can be thief or protector. The Fems need to get beyond denial and patient wishful thinking, see clearly where they stand with Pluto. No cheating or abuse, gas lighting. If they can give proof, Pluto will call the guards and fight for their rights. Honor restored, healing happens, monies returned. What goes for one, goes for humanity as well.

May 3 at 2:06 AM Pacific, Mars strong in his own sign Aries, sextiled Pluto! Major opportunity for new action! Mars looks for purity, fights for innocence, babies. He made his entry into Aries with Venus, right beside her when she confronted Master Pluto. He was between Venus and Moon’s squares, giving courage to each when they faced Pluto. Venus had loves and knows Pluto may have too. His sign change is confusing him a bit as more Aquarian detachment is happening. AQ loves humanity, whereas Venus in Taurus loves the whole earth! Some things we have more capacity for than we realized. Moon knows Pluto had a Mother, so she sees him as son. Though roles can be confusing, they can be more complex and knowing the deeper workings is helpful. Pluto’s major monetary talents are being shifted to broader causes, new purposes. That just isn’t always easy to do. Give it time, appreciate the efforts.

It is common that Bundle charts have stelliums! This year we are having strong stelliums at lunar events as you can see from the Stelliums Timeline above. Pacific Zone dates!

Stelliums are clusters of planets in the same sign. Each planet offers a specialty within that sign, another option of reception and a talent to offer in return. Below is the May Timeline with these FIVE planets  collaborating in Taurus!

• 06  10:42 PM Sun sextiles Saturn  Work goes well, completed, done with heart!
  7:27 PM Mercury is in the last part of his Retrograde cycle, makes his third and last conjunction with Chiron in Aries! He has learned a lot from Chiron and getting the word out about new healing skills just as fast as he can. Aries is quite independent so they discussed relationships and starting their own new businesses.
• 07  7:05 AM Moon crossed Venus this morning. For the moment, they are of like mind and sweet in their unconditional concerns. They are making beauty on Earth.
  Moon sextile Saturn 7:02 PM Could be house work or building a house! Professional, helps elders.
  8:22 PM New Moon, Moon with Sun is a primal conjunction, Mother Moon, love forever in Taurus, with Father Sun, the mortal Father/Husband who loves her with all his heart and radiance. They renew their vows. They plow the fields, raise the children, make a substantial foundation, legacy for their community.
• 08  4:19 AM Moon conjuncts Uranus. Gather the clan the 7th. Consider friendships, unions for purpose, our place in today’s world, what we would like to found for our children’s sake.
  9:30 AM  Moon conjuncts Jupiter! Moon knows a good opportunity when she sees one! This would be a great time for a celebratory breakfast to go over some of yesterday’s thoughts, confirm our plans, our parts within them. Sign any papers that feel right.
  4:20 PM Moon enters Gemini and at 7:52 PM trines Pluto. That is the completion in that Moon’s conjunct with lead planet Jupiter, becomes trine with Pluto the base planet, from end to back to the beginning, in a new sign!
• 18  Venus conjunct Uranus, 11:45 AM Sun conjunct Jupiter! These are the last New Moon stellium related aspects before May 23 and they are both blessed and lucky! Venus makes new friends, she gets a glimpse of amazing futures possible for us and our planet! Great time to step up to the plate, make some financial changes!
  Sun shines his Light on the best of Jupiter! They may make speeches, talk philosophy, take a significant journey together to a shrine or just have fun, ride or bet on the horses. Good chance the favorite will win, maybe that will be you! Sun loves glory, and Jupiter likes grand! Will be quite a 3 days, 16 to 18!
• 23 Sagittarius-Gemini Full Flower Moon 6:53 AM 1:29 AM Venus conjunct Jupiter, 2:44 PM Jupiter Sextile Neptune!
  Our current Taurus Moons with their powerful stelliums are strongly and substantially building a platform for the coming Jupiter sextile Neptune, Jupiter’s last aspect in Taurus. If we want those dreams to come true, we need so secure them safely, give them a place for sustained growth. Venus is Taurus’s planet, so in her own sign she gives Jupiter her blessing to bring love and beauty, to expand exponentially! It’s a great send off! The Full Flower Moon, Moon in Sagittarius, Jupiter’s sign, spreads her wings and sings Hallelujah! Jupiter may be riding a white horse and disappear with Neptune into Spirit for a ride he doesn’t forget any time soon! They will be back… Rev 6: ‘And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow (Sagittarius the Archer/Jupiter his planet); and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.’ May it be so in a good way. See more about the Sextile!
  .
  Further, here is notice of a unique happening! In preview, prelude, for preparation, May 10 we have Jupiter conjunct Behenian fixed star Algol! It clears pathways and thinking before the May 23 Jupiter sextile Neptune. Whether good or bad, it’s big! One thing leads to another. This is followed by the major conjunction! We will have the exceptional Uranus conjunct ALGOL coming July 20! In old fashioned terms, all hell may break loose! The pot has been simmering and spells may cause both curses and blessings to come true! The next day is Sunday, the July 21 Full Buck Moon 29 Cap/Cancer! There WILL be some endings! It conjuncts retrograde Oct 14/15, during Jupiter’s healing sextile station with Chiron, during Pluto’s final time in Capricorn. The final time Uranus connects with Algol is May 3/4 2025!
  .
  The last time it happened was 1941/42, when the US entered WW2. Please see Astrology King for Algol info, how it relates to your chart factors, famous people with Algol placements including Trump. Note that Algol’s current position is 26 Taurus 30! Darkstar Astrology has some additional information and alternative thinking about Algol! Uranus is noted for being ahead of its time, shaking things up, invention, networking. He would have no qualms about befriending and putting Algol to work. Algol, surprised, may just accept the offer! Algol will blast the ways open for us all! Keep your eyes on the high road!

• June 4 Venus catches up with Sun. She says, We did it! She’s sweet on him. Maybe she gives him a very healing massage. He feels appreciated, trusting, and is willing to sponsor her. Peace. They may talk about how the plan is going, how the funding is holding up, whether she should join the team.

Neptune is now at 29°, called an anaretic degree, the last degree of any sign. However, this one happens to be the last degree of ALL the signs! It also happens to be a Retrograde Station degree. Neptune will retrograde July 2 at 3:40 AM Pacific at 29 Pisces 55, a very almost 0 Aries!!! Neptune was at 28° 55′ on April 30, a degree of the Rx point and will return to that position retrograde Sep 5, 4 months and 5 days. You see, our outmost planets Neptune and Pluto travel very slowly and even a 1° station can take many months! 29s are typically endings, summaries, the final conclusions. It is a maturity, a surrender to letting go. We strive to make it our best legacy possible. We both celebrate and grieve for the goodness we leave behind, while looking forward to an exhilarating future, a sometimes it is unknown, a bit scary.

The work during a long duration station is well studied, thought through and through, finds it’s very right place in our Spirits. And there is always more to come! When we have a Rx station, there is another crossing of these same degrees when the planet goes direct, forward over those degrees the third time. If the RX is a two year cycle, it can be 4 and 5 times! In this case here will be another extensive time late ’25 through early 2026. More growth will come.

Events during this Station! We have doubts and excitement as possibilities are considered! While in such a long station the planet is aspected by many planets, has made many considerations, is seasoned in its experiences. While this one has been at 29, Neptune has first been sextiled by this Jupiter connection. Next  is Jupiter’s sign change to Gemini and subsequent trine with Pluto and square to Saturn. Sep 1, Pluto goes back into Capricorn the final time. He too will then be at 29. Though Neptune and Pluto will be in close sextile, they are not exact yet.

Neptune sextile Pluto 82 years!

Neptune and Pluto know each other well. From 1900 through 2032, there is only one aspect made between Neptune and Pluto! It came within effective range in the midst of World War II during 1942. Neptune sextile Pluto has a profound and exotic history! Jamie Partridge refers to it as an ‘inter-generational’ planetary aspect lasting from 1950 to 2032! In those years there are 49 exact aspects over three to four generations! Both planets have changed signs multiple times in that period. At this part of their orbits they have been traveling at speeds that have allowed them to keep the sextile aspect for 82 years! Though their last exact sextile was June 9, 1986, they have stayed in sextile, sometimes closer, sometimes further apart, until now! July 24 to Sep 15, 2026 they start exact aspects again! They make 13 additional exact aspects in this period completing the 82 years! Chart factors you have in or very close to those degrees will tap you into this sequence.

As planets travel for long times together, they become more like each other. Neptune and Pluto are both water planets (Pisces and Scorpio) and both have to do with transformation. Pluto transforms our bodies from the Kundalini up. Neptune transforms our Spirit. Pluto goes deep to cure the cause. Neptune pulls us to believe in the unseeable, our dreams. Neptune calls Pluto to compassion. Pluto says face the facts. There is the physical doctor and if the patient doesn’t believe, they can die no matter how great the Dr is. If there is no great Dr, the patient may die no matter what he believes. Truly, we need these two to work together. We/they, have been getting better at it!

This connection is more significant now because March 23, 2023 Pluto first entered Aquarius, a 246 year event! Now through 2044, 21 years, there will be significant world changes. ’26 to ’32 the remaining 13 exact sextiles with Neptune happen while Neptune is in Aries, Pluto in Aquarius. Please continue to strengthen our Aquarian and Uranian people, those factors in your own charts!

Blessings as precious endings and new beginnings are being made. Taurus sensibly knows when to let go, is steady on.

Plenty of excitement! Make Love and Beauty. Cherish your many Blessings!

2024 Aries Mercury Retrograde, Jupiter Conjunct Uranus!

Neuroscience News features neurology, psychology, AI, mental health, robotics, neurotechnology and cognitive sciences. A groundbreaking AI language model is illuminating the complex relationship between clinical symptoms and brain tissue abnormalities. By analyzing medical summaries and tissue samples from the Netherlands Brain Bank, the model provides new insights into disease progression and the challenge of diagnosing brain diseases accurately.

Aries rules our head, skull, mind, eyes, reactive instinct, muscles and blood – lots of reasons to stay fit! Mercury is how our mind works, how we learn. Jupiter is how we learn what it all means and the integrity of how we travel our life. Uranus is higher mind, genius, awakening collective consciousness! It turns the light ON! 

Mind changing is provocative! Let’s do it! During this Aries Mercury Retrograde cycle pay attention to your thinking patterns, where they lead you. If you shift/change the pattern, what happens? If this RX activates your chart, do your patterns and outlook change when Mercury retrogrades?

The last time Mercury was retrograde in Aries was March 11 to 23 in 2012. It was brief, a two sign retro with Pisces. Perhaps you remember something special about that time. Our last Rx was in earth and fire, introducing fire to our retrogrades! This one is full on fire, Aries the first fire sign, pure and spunky, independent with lots of initiative, gives inspiring leadership! Next is late summer in Leo/Virgo, athletic playtime, work and daily health.

Technically, our first 2024 Rx ended Jan 1, but this one is really our first Rx period during 2024!

The significance of this Retrograde is that it is part of a 15 Days Aries Eclipse Stellium April 4 to 19. April 7-9 Moon makes 5 planets in Aries, which includes the April 8 TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE! New Moon 11:21 AM Pacific! In Santa Barbara the Eclipse is at 11:11A Pacific. Find the exact Time at your location! The Eclipse exactly conjuncts CHIRON by degree AND minute! See the details and CHART!

Retrograde CYCLE is March 18 from 15 to 27 Aries May 13.  RETROGRADE is April 1 to 25!

TAXES are due April 15, so you might want to get them done and sent so they are received as soon as possible before April 1! Best is to get them there on or before March 28 the 8 day before the RX station starts! Get a delivery receipt. If that just doesn’t happen maybe have a pro do them for you. If you do them yourself, do them verrry carefully!

Spring is a perfect time for an Aries Retro; it includes Earth Day! Get your bikes and outdoor gear ready to go! Take a look at your AstroLocality, see the complete Mercury Aries Retrograde Timeline for further details, and plan a perfect action packed adventure! Might be the start of a new life, look good on the resume later!

This Retro includes three super events! April 4-19, is the Aries Eclipse Stellium! That means a concentrated force for new beginnings, independence, being the first to arrive, taking action with a passion, plenty of excitement! April 7 to 9 has FIVE planets in Aries and includes the April 8 Total Solar Eclipse New Moon! This Eclipse will be visible in the US, people will come from all over the world to see it! Eclipses are a direct line up, in this case of Earth, Moon, CHIRON and Sun! It’s a time of channeling healing, love and Light! They are followed by the April 20 Jupiter conjunct Uranus! It’s a two planet lineup, but they are potent game changers! Many will never be the same again. Major networks will form engaging in collective enLightenment, to earthquakes and huge air flight happenings. Whether bad or good, Jupiter makes thing BIG! If you are doing marketing, do it at this time. If your health flares up, Jupiter can find a super way of healing for you, uniquely to you with Uranus present!

The day after the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction, April 21, Mercury starts his Direct/Forward 8 day station. It is a time to ponder the retrograde happenings, the important Jupiter/Uranus discoveries, how to disperse the findings. Sun in Taurus has been in a week long challenging square with Pluto dealing with vital matters. Love/divorce, costs of elder care, losses/gains, what to live for, rebirth/death! The pondering proceeds past Mercury Direct the 25th, on through the 28th. Keeper ideas are selected and anchored in place for the long haul. Mercury in Aries will cover the ground in a short time. This station encompasses Earth Day 22nd, the Scorpio/Taurus Full PINK Moon the 23rd.

Mercury in Aries is super quick on its feet and with instant reactive perception, learns fast! Perfect in emergency situations. Aries is boundless with new ideas, is so happy when you follow his lead! Experimentation is 100% natural and boredom is too, so, Next! Be the first! Distraction goes with the territory. There can be warrior like overdoing exercise, a need to eat well but quickly – no eight course meals please. Kids in classrooms are bored with all mind emphasis, need challenging action! Aries rests once in a while. Be careful with your head and watch where you are going! Being a consultant, working with challenges, doing what you love may be a gift. A special Initiation may occur. If you love an Aries you have to keep up! Caution buying vehicles, especially hot racing vehicles, LOL! Look but buy after the direct station ends!

In retrogrades, expect to be frustrated and frazzled. Assertive, impulsive Aries wants to move ahead, and all of the energy is going backward. Watch what you say, when and how you say it and to whom. Things are not hard facts during retros. Leave plenty of room for mind changing, discoveries. Pay attention to what people say; you might be pleasantly surprised. Reset, refresh, reload frequently. Give it some time…

Mercury is somewhat kin with Aries. It is associated with the nervous system, the brain, the respiratory system, the thyroid, and the sense organs. No breath, no life. It’s that important. To speak is to breathe! Aries puts that breath to the test! Mercury isn’t exactly known for being physical like Aries, but mentally he can keep up even when he sleeps! But Aries sees Mercury’s great mind, and definitely helps him get  O₂ to his brain! Exercise, clean air and fresh thinking, yes! Mercury quickly gathers the data they need to get where they are going! Mercury also has the map, LOL!

It’s not a time to streamline or change your bookkeeping system. Make notes and if you still want to do it after Mercury turns forward, do it then. Generally not a time to buy a new car or bike, exercise equipment.  Shop and wait is a good policy. Use your intuition about surgeries, but err to the side of caution, choose only expert veterans to do required work during the Rx. Read up on health options. Start a veggie garden! In general, welcome revisions that make things work more smoothly. Wait to do long term costly renovations. Hear out new ideas and get back to them later. Pay attention to technical information and don’t let it slide away bringing you to a delaying standstill. Distractions may be tempting, but time wasting and non productive. Stay focused, keep your priorities. Hard as it is, it will pay to wait.

Generally retros are not a marriage time. Unstable, and Aries is fast at mind changing. And Aries is often not a marrying sign. They love new love! Give a relationship with them plenty of time to test it. Say no to eloping no matter how glamorous and fun it sounds! If it’s good now, it will still be good later, and you can still elope, LOL! Give it that six month minimum trial time. This is even more true if either one of you IS an Aries!

Sometimes retrogrades can bring a lover back into your life. The general answer is no, no way. Temptation may temporarily give it another try. Usually it is a refresher about why you parted before. With Aries is less likely they will return to you or it will be very short duration, because they prefer new! If you are the Aries going back, if possible, hold yourself in check for the Rx. If you still want to after the Rx passes, then see what happens. Give it the usual SIX months minimum if you are considering a remarriage. If all goes well, Congrats!

Important Retrograde Direct Stations!

Mercury Stations are eight days, four days before and after direction changes. They hold position focusing, solidifying, grounding and anchoring thoughts that are keepers. Flaws are noticed, acknowledged, repaired or updated. They create a starting point, working out details that will keep us humming in time to come. In Aries this happens quickly mentally, one thought leading to another even if they are standing perfectly still! There can be tremendous focus almost like when the sun starts a fire through a crystal ball! Just by being there, they can burn their way through! It’s a time of emphasis. Getting pure and clean, white light! At times there is an innocent power that people listen to because it has a literal ring of truth. Keep up with your physical exercise so you don’t go crazy waiting for the results to happen!

The RETROGRADE station starts on March 29. It continues past Easter the 31st, Retros on April 1, continues through the 5th. The station is late in Aries at 27 Aries 13.

It ponders the possibilities, looking forward to exciting potentials! From that vantage point, the Rx proceeds, covering the same locations again but with more mature eyes. It’s a 180 direction change, so things are seen from a totally different perspective. Certain consequences become apparent, corrections are made, doors open to fresh beginnings. It may be a frustrating nuisance at times, for an Aries especially, but things get better. They don’t slow down just for a direction change. Even going back is ‘new!’  

The DIRECT Station starts April 21, Directs April 25, continues through the 28th.

Mercury rests at the turn forward point, pondering newer possibilities now that things are in better order! Ah, sweet release. We are back at the beginning, 15 Aries 58, where it all started, rarin’ to go again. It will be the best now! Faster, smooth action. Don’t fight it, fix it! Finish details to perfection, streamline ahead! It might seem you lost time, but in the long run, it saves time!

Special REPEATED ASPECTS!

Mercury covers 15 Aries 58 to 27 Aries 13, just a bit over 11 degrees. That’s a very short Retrograde span and only one repeated aspect occurs, Mercury conjunct Chiron in Aries! Though it’s a short span, it’s a 25 day Rx, just a little longer than the average 3 weeks.

Mercury conjuncted Chiron the first time March 20, will conjunct Chiron 2 more times! See the Retro Timeline for full context! Mercury is scanning the Chiron in Aries updates, spreading the word of the best ones! The sooner our health is improved, the sooner we have an improved quality of life, mental outlook. Chiron is part Medicine Man, modern practitioner! During his time in Aries, he is operating independently putting healing modalities together per each client’s particular needs. He is so happy for the news Mercury brings. New cures are such a blessing. Chiron has healed Mercury as they connected and Mercury finds himself more clear headed.

The three dates are March 20, April 15 Rx and May 6. Mercury is the communicator, ruler of Gemini, the Word, and Virgo, getting the job done, the organizer! Both have strong minds. Gemini is the chatter data gatherer from many sources and passes it along quickly to all the right places. Virgo uses a lot of information in research, helping with finances and health. It’s a monumental task, well organized, every detail noted.

Conjunct Chiron, a teacher and healer, there is a natural camaraderie offering information services, testing new remedies, giving instruction. Cleaning and anti pollution services may save lives whether it is pets or people. They may get people outside for exercise and general good cheer. They can help you learn how to do things, be more independent, get your body going again. Chiron in Aries may have a special gift with children, especially babies. Aries isn’t happy with being feeble, so this may be a good time to take care of some elder matters as well. Be good to yourself. Look for some new solutions to long standing, perhaps chronic issues or acute pain, whether physical or mental. Mercury is good in Aries to responsively talk you through things, not waste your time. Chiron instinctively has brilliant suggestions that will specifically work for YOU! With retrogrades, things aren’t usually instant. They take the time it takes to assimilate, adjust, get used to what’s new. And that’s ok. The relief is well worth doing it well and thoroughly.

None of these dates fall at either 8 day station, so things will be moving right along. In Aries it’s more like you gotta keep up, Honey!

ALL ABOUT RETROGRADES! Some of you are old hands. Others have never heard of Retrograde before. New lingo: Retrograde, Direct, Station and more…

Updated 3.17.24

Retrogrades are fascinatingly complex! The wild dynamics of retrograde cycles are, as viewed from Earth, it happens when a faster planet passes a slower planet. Mercury is faster than Earth, while Earth is slower than Mars. The planet appears to go forward, backward, then forward over the same ground three times, and if outer planets sometimes five times in two years! Of course that doesn’t happen in reality. It is visual because of the perspective from Earth. During that time, all the other planets are moving too, so even when a retrograde planet is going ‘backward’ over the same degrees, they are ALL going forward, even the retrograde planet! It’s ‘illogical,’ but that’s what happens.

Venus retrogrades about every 19 months for only about 40 days. Only 7–8% of the population has it in their natal chart. Mercury retrogrades 3 times a year, once every 6 years it’s 4 times that year. Mercury actually spends little time retrograde. Mars retrogrades every 25/26 months for 60-80 days. 

Retrogrades in the sky are passing periods. Retrogrades in a birth chart are life long, a living entity. As a place that is reprocessed over and over, fantastic skills are developed per planet and sign, along with the other chart factors that may be linked to it. Many top world businesses have multiple retrogrades in their charts! They have super expertise and it is still growing with the times! Retrogrades keep us mindful and present – updated! In humans about 25% of the population has Mercury Retrograde, and that includes celebrities, LOL!  Fun read: 5 Fascinating Facts About Being Born During Mercury Retrograde

The type of special communication skills of Mercury retrograde depend on which sign, house and planets Mercury connects with in your chart and what type of connections are made. Check out the planets of your own chart, your besties, and track the charts of babies born during retrogrades! Take advantage of these retrograde linkages, learn how to make transitions well for optimum results. Not a time to be nervous and hold back. Stay aboard! Like on a ship at sea, get your sea legs! Flex with the flow. It may seem like a mess, but the magic will happen. Guaranteed!

We hear about Mercury Retrograde the most because it retrogrades 3 to 4 times a year, 3 to 4 weeks a time.

Mercury is the planet of the Mind, thinking, our attention, our breath and lungs, how we learn to learn, communication skills, gathering data, paperwork, signing contracts, a hand shake, the laying on of hands. In the world at large it is also communications of all kinds, transportation and commerce. All of these are essential. 

Mercury has two signs! Air sign Gemini is Mercury’s first sign. Mercury is heady, there is little that isn’t interesting and little escapes its attention whether audio, visual, a shift in the air movement/a quick intake of breath, release of a sigh. Earthy Virgo is Mercury’s second sign that focuses on details, looks for perfection, expertly organizes and applies the data Gemini secures, is semi grounded! Both are known to be ultra busy! Gemini listens fast, often replies while you are still speaking, has questions! He uses his hands to speak with, is ambidextrous! Virgo writes the book, has multiple duties, organizes the finances and everything else, won’t go home, just has one more detail to finesse. She worries about her and your health. They are quite different, you see. 

Mercury Rx is don’t sign those papers about issues of the sign(s) Mercury is retrograde in! Or, do everything to make it possible so it doesn’t fall through. Escrows can fall through. Use experienced brokers who can get it done no matter what. People don’t return your calls. The dog ate it. Your computer has a snit. Or you do, LOL! You lose your cell. You get lost, turned around. Rule is be sure purchases are from reputable firms that have been around, have a good track record, have reliable returns, guarantees, warranties. Be sure the company is legitimate before you deal. Date and sign any contract changes and make sure they do too. Get/make copies, save and backup. Generally, you avoid making significant purchases/decisions especially of matters specific to the sign/s involved. If possible, don’t move or change or start jobs until you wait 4 days after Mercury turns Direct/forward.

The house/s where Mercury falls in your chart while it is retrograde is the area of your life that will be specially affected. Briefly: If it is in your 4th, it is home and family matters, your Mother. If in your 2nd or 8th, financial adjustments will be made. 6th can be work environment, skills, coworkers, your health regime. 5/7/8 houses can be important relationships. 3/9 is educational, class requirements may shift. 9 is long term plans, travels. 10 may be career, father, 11 career associations/associates, friendships. 12 may be your spiritual beliefs, perceptions. So for example, if in your 10th, be cautious about signing professional documents. If in your 4th, you may opt to wait to buy the new refrigerator – a better deal or fridge may come along. In the 1st or 3rd you might wait to purchase a new vehicle. In 2 or 7, wait for the face lift. If you need help with this, see your astrologer!

Inner planet – Mercury, Venus, Mars – retrogrades have three phase cycles. Sometimes the slow moving outer planets have five and take 3 years! Sun and Moon have none. Astrologers use different names for the 3 phases. Basically they are:

1. Covering the initial ground, degrees that the retrograde will go back over when the planet ‘turns’ retrograde.
2. Retrograde covers the same degrees as Phase 1, only in the reverse direction, so your perspective takes a 180 shift while other planets continue on in their own patterns, many of them moving forward. While retrograde the planet checks on previous actions, improving on, updating choices made as it goes back.
3. The planet turns ‘forward,’ and goes over the same degrees a third time, adds finishing touches, makes experienced final adjustments before it moves on.

Stations bring special emphasis! A Station is when a planet literally appears to stand still in the sky at the retrograde and direct, forward turning points. Stations help us slow down. A Mercury station holds consciousness at a certain point for 8 days. They are a pause when we are able to be still to receive, focus, take time to think, steep in our thinking. We make things the best we can, anchor important ideas we want to keep. Flaws are noticed, acknowledged, repaired or updated. The longer the station the more its strength. Mercury sometimes likes to think things over, draw as much from a valuable experience as possible, or get to know a special person more deeply. More often, it is likely to go crazy waiting for more things to happen and wants to be the first to deliver the news! They may need to rest at the station because a lot has been changing. It can be a relief to take a breather from the rigors of speeding here and there so they don’t miss a morsel!

The RETROGRADE station ponders the possibilities, looking forward to exciting potentials! From that vantage point, the Rx proceeds, covering the same locations again but with more mature eyes. It’s a 180 direction change, so things are seen from a totally different perspective. Certain consequences become apparent, corrections are made, doors opened to fresh beginnings. It may be a frustrating nuisance at times, but things get better. 

The DIRECT Station rests at the turn forward point, pondering newer possibilities now that things are in better order! Ah, sweet release. We are back at the beginning, where it all started, rarin’ to go again. It will be the best now! Faster, smooth action. Don’t fight it, fix it! Finish details to perfection, streamline ahead! It might seem you lost time, but in the long run, it saves time!

Planets at different speeds hold station different lengths of time. Mercury stations are about 8 days – four days before and four days after the turns. Prepare for retrogrades as best you can before the Retrograde Station starts! When Mercury turns forward, wait for the Direct Station to finish before turning yourself loose to go ahead.

Every Retrograde is unique by sign, aspects, and where it happens in your chart! As time goes on the planetary backdrop changes. Context shifts as Moon and other planets change signs or they retrograde. Retrogrades, like any other astro phenomena, evolve. Each planet has its own matters. The sign(s) it is in while in retrograde, are how those matters are applied, what matters are processed.

In retrogrades we may be at another stage or encounter an addition to something already going on in our personal chart. Also, the degrees of this retrograde have to be in connection with your personal chart or it will have little to no effect. There can be a turning away from things we are done with that we never thought we would change about, yet here it happens…old ideas are simply abandoned, spent and done.

Sometimes retrogrades cross Portals, where sign changes happen for us all and/or house changes happen for you! As planets go forward, retrograde, then recross forward, we learn how to make that particular crossing, one sign to the other. Gradually we see how those two signs are linked, work together, support each other. We see the contribution of each sign, how they each are part of the Zodiacal Great Circle. Be mindful of your own talent, offer it. Be mindful of what others have to offer, be grateful. You may not like the person, but we can’t do without their part of the divine tapestry, the Light they hold at that crossroad of life.

What a journey! When you are traveling, what amazing beauty lies around each new bend. Different directions, different views. Maybe what’s behind is out of sight, a memory; what’s ahead is a mystery! Inward turns, like retrograde, give us time to pause, hold steady, slow down, peruse our current standing. Outward bends like turning forward/Direct, extend our vision of potentials. Each turn, that Station, gives us time to think, recalibrate, prepare for the next stretch. It’s important that there are changes, reversals, old ideas that clogged things up are left behind, revelations have room to occur, new ideas are teased into action! Potential is remembered and we are rededicated.

Clearly life doesn’t stop during retrogrades, and not all people’s charts are connected to all retrogrades. If your chart is connected to any given one, you will need to do your best and what you can. You can’t explain this astrological stuff to all people, maybe not your boss or even a good friend. Astrology? You’re nuts! Ok, so there are times to find ways to stall or not connect, delay. You can estimate the possibilities of others not bringing certain papers to the meeting and bring them yourself, save the day! You can ask for a review of the current decisions 4 days or more after Mercury goes Direct/forward. If there are important must do meetings, Dr and Veterinarian appts, call in advance to verify that the date and right time are on their calendars AND yours! Verify that part you ordered IS ordered, being sent to the correct address, the expected arrival date! Know that it might be late. Keep track of keys, wallets/purses, phones.

Document your work and events daily, save ALL emails and backup safely off the premises. No giving your passwords or copies of keys to anyone. If all goes well, fine. If not, all the pertinent information you need is available.

If you have other favorable prevailing aspects, especially with outer planets, it is likely changes will ultimately be to your benefit. Do check with your astrologer for your good dates and times of day to make the best of it! And pray their chart isn’t affected by the retrograde, LOL!

With a transiting Retrograde, if you have factors in your chart at or very close to those degrees, especially at the station degrees, you will be activated. Check in with your astrologer if you have significant plans at those times. Plan ahead for what you want to get done, as much as possible, well before those times, and line up what you can do during those times!

Classically, marriages are not scheduled during retrogrades. They are simply unstable. Check with your astrologer. First be sure your basic compatibility is in especially good order. If that is good, be very careful with those wedding dates. Look ahead for timing that may be better for you. Be wise and wait. A marriage chart is like a birth chart; it is with you the rest of your marriage. 

Sometimes retrogrades, especially Venus RXs, can bring a lover back into your life. The general answer is no, no way. Temptation may temporarily give it another try, but usually it is a refresher about why you parted before. Aries is less likely to return or it will be very short duration, because they prefer new! Sagittarius just keeps traveling but may pass your location on their travels. Fun but doesn’t stay. Aquarius just likes freedom. When some signs close the door, it generally stays closed – Cancer and Scorpio. Other signs have various responses. 

If you are the one who wants to go back, if possible, hold yourself in check for the Rx. If you still want to after the Rx passes, then see what happens. Give it the usual SIX months minimum if you are considering a remarriage. If all goes well, Congrats!

Refresh and update your skills. Valuable changes have been processed!

Retrogrades can drive you crazy and still be a terrific asset if you know how to use them! The most successful corporations often have many retrogrades.

Happy Gemini, Memorial Day, Father’s Day! Congratulations Proud Grads & Loved Ones!

Gemini Celestial HighLights 2023 to May 2024!.

Gemini! Helping Hands, Healing Hearts, Breath of Life!

Hands in prayer held over our hearts, feeling the breathing of wholeness. We wish each other well in every moment, every connection. We don’t even have to understand. Every person’s story is sacred. We don’t have to like them. Each has divine purpose. It isn’t always easy. We always need to take care of ourselves. We have our own special quota and quantity, a personal balance we must learn. Every athlete, wilderness adventurer, find their limits. All animals and plants can do what they do but not other things. We all have our specialties we offer. Even the Gods had their prime talents. And so it is. We are not bored when we share common goals, each contributing their own special gifts. It’s an honor. It takes a village.  

Healing hearts can be a tender business. It is one thing to save the world, another to save ourselves, and yet another to let ourselves be healed. We learn how to really listen. Anyone can chatter when they don’t know what to say or are afraid what you might say. Being quiet to hear may take all our strength. Are you listening to hear the words or what the words mean in their heart? In some cultures fear can be a taboo so we speak around it. For some not admitting fear is a defense for having grown up in a dangerous circumstance. Learning how to communicate clearly and exactly may be one of the hardest things they ever learn. Listening heartfully and communicating with kindness and clarity are talents of high order. 

Some were born with communications graces, others have genuine disabilities. It’s like an emotional dyslexia. Feelings and words get turned around. It can be mistaken for being stupid, stubborn, or anger when they know something is just wrong and can’t get to the words ‘give me some time, I really want to tell you but I don’t know what it is yet.’ Word clever Geminis can sometimes ‘see’ there is an unspeakable matter and gently query, make a person feel comfortable. In time the words of the other may come. Big differences can scare people and they all may have to get used to each other.

The Heart and Lungs are vital, are intertwined next to each other in our chest cavities. Gemini is the first Air Sign, rules our breath of life, officiated by our Lungs! Dr. Albert Rizzo, the American Lung Association’s Chief Medical Officer sayes “Unfortunately, the cardiovascular (heart) and respiratory (lungs) systems are so connected that, if either one has a problem, it may also cause the other to fail.” If we feel unloved, for example, we may be so depressed we often don’t get exercise, don’t breathe as well and supply the heart with oxygen and the strength it needs. 

Gemini’s are vulnerable to upper respiratory infections – pneumonia, bronchitis, and asthma. Not being able to breathe is frightening. Gemini also rules our entire nervous system and brain. If we have too much stress, and we slump over our chest, not getting the deep breathing we need. More rest, getting light exercise helps us get a restart. Quality food and balanced nutrition is vital to get our chemical synapses and electricity back in order. That is essential so our body can communicate fully with itself and us with our brain in turn.

Gemini rules our hands as well. Another form of healing is the laying on of hands, touch healing. Acupuncture clears and stimulates nerve centers. Reiki works with energy centers. When we touch someone there is an unspoken statement of faith that you are ok to touch, worth ‘saving.’ Getting a Massage is a whole body statement. Doing something beautiful and creative with our hands, like calligraphy, Hawaiian hula story telling, wearing symbolic jewelry or rings is a form of reaching out, giving inspiration. Tennis is a good active sport that extends energy from our lungs through our arms and hands and body. Running gets oxygen throughout our body and mind. Media is a major multitude of art forms collectively spreading the news of mind and Spirit! In relationships an old Celtic form of marriage was called handfasting. Throughout time we have clasped wrists indicating joining forces. Today we shake hands as a business affirmation honoring an important agreement, then sign the contracts with our hands!   

Gemini’s, as twins, have a head start on multiple personalities! Have a conversation with the many worthy selves within you, as closely as if you were Twins! Have conversations with others in the same closely divine way. We are all multiple personalities! All precious. I like Ram Dass’s words (Mercury Taurus sextile Venus Pisces) ~ We are all just walking each other home. That’s how close in heart we want to be, each a Pilgrim on the Path together. 

Palm to palm, heart to heart, breath by breath, spread the good Word! We are a universe of fine complexity sourcing from a bank of biodiverse knowledge like never before!

Geminis we couldn’t do it without you. Thank you.

Gemini Overview 2023 to May 2024!

Geminis are terrific runners! Running for a Cause is not necessarily about winners; they are ALL WINNERS!  Wherever you go this year, see if you can coordinate with a run for your Cause! Photo by Capstone Events on Unsplash

Five Reasons to Run for a Cause: Raise much-needed funds. Raise awareness. Pay it forward. Get inspired and inspire others. It feels good! Quite simply it feels good to do good! This run was a 5K Run or walk in Lackawaxen (Swift River) PA in behalf of gifts for seniors.

Gemini rules our breath. As you breathe in, receive all the goodness into your molecules. Let your body web of nerves carry it throughout to open your channels, enliven your synapses. Do your stretches. Reach for the sky. As you breathe out, squeeze out any toxins, sorrows, disappointments. All in good time healing occurs at all levels in all ways. Each time you practice go deeper. Follow this set with breathing out all the goodness into the ethers to share with all beings – comfort, healing, teaching, inspiration, your blessing.

Breathing is our ultimate communication with life itself. Our daily spoken words require our breath. Our thinking and attention require our breath. Our hands focus the energy of our breath, especially when doing touch healing. We create with our hands guided by our complete system of being. Silence is attended by our breathing that we may connect with Spirit and be true to our Soul.

Mind your mind. Give it rest. Meditate, even if only for a few moments. Do exercise that makes you happy, for good health. Choose locations for quality air, air flow to stimulate your brain. Eat well so not to suffocate your body’s chemical attention. Stay sharp! Keep your intentional priorities and review and update frequently. 

As Gemini ends this year, there is a nice build up to Cancer! Galactic New Moon June 17, Father’s Day 18,  Juneteenth and Jupiter sextile Saturn 19, lands us at Summer Solstice, Lithia, Sun in Cancer the 21st! Stay Galactic! Charge the baton and pass it to Cancer to carry on the next lap!

2023 features Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto Sign Changes, Super Portal Pluto’s 246 year entry into Aquarius, retrograde back into Capricorn. And, like 2022, makes only 3 outer Planet aspects, only once each, in the first part of the year, all by Jupiter. All the sign changes and the last aspect are made by June 19, and then there is NO other action! Probably the intensity of Pluto’s sign change is enough!

That doesn’t mean YOU won’t have any aspects the rest of the year because the planets are still moving; it’s just that they are not connecting with each other!    

Pluto is now 0 degree Aquarius! He is merely taking a preliminary peek into Aquarius as his first venture in his new sign. He retrogrades May 1, Beltane, at 0 AQ 21, that’s less than half a degree into AQ! He is returning to Capricorn June 11, carrying the seeds of AQ with him. He goes back to Capricorn to review, update in context of Aquarian findings, and bring the appropriate Cap benefits forward into AQ now that he knows more about Aquarius. This is an important cross sign retrograde. 

PLUTO made that stupendous 246 year sign change into Aquarius Mar 23, 2023! We need Aquarius to be strong, in working order, integrated and grounded among ourselves, in our communities, internationally. Pluto will be in Aquarius 21 years, until January 2044! See more!

• Pluto in Aquarius will bring a new time. Pluto is water sign Scorpio’s planet and Pluto and air sign Aquarius are not exactly ‘compatible.’ Pluto has a ton of charisma, yet is as much private as Aquarius can’t help but bring attention by his simple presence. AQ is exotic, super intelligent, often revels in neon colors, odd/unique looks and attire, has electric static. He can get attention for being THE archetypal loner, or the brilliant head of a world humanitarian organization. Pluto is used to going it alone and having plenty of behind the scenes power, but Aquarius may be calling on the pantheon that collectively has more power than Pluto and his corporations! Transparency is called for. Pluto is going to have some adjusting to do. He may be concerned for loss of privacy, be a bit jealous too. At the very worst, there could be power struggles for world rule, including genocide. Or they will synthesize for mutual goals. They will do fundraising like never seen before! Pluto may gather the world’s top wealthy humanitarians and sustainable advocates and make governments of countries look small by comparison. Since these groups will have no governmental constraints, they may bring the world together when governments couldn’t. By comparison, the financially unsupported United Nations may become passé, or it’s possible, its structure already in place, may be revitalized! Comprehensive large scale inventor/researcher work could do very well to sustain and amplify their efforts.
• All the Aquarian flavored aspects we had in 2021, early 2022, gave us a head start. We’ll do Pluto in Aquarius better! Pluto was last in Aquarius 246 years ago, 1777 to 1799, a 22 year period of worldwide uproar and change – American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution in England. And it won’t be any different this time! Guarantee! So get your friends and alliances/networks in working order, stand up, get used to acting progressively, and be ready to roll! Some will mightily resist; others will persist with new ideas. Change will beget change. Take a peek at what Patrick Watson has to say on Pluto per sign historically. Check out what Lynn Hayes has to say about what Dylan Love has to say on transhumanism.

• Since that last 246 years ago we now have bombs, climate change, had a pandemic, have electronic communication, robotics, and a helluva a lot more people on the planet. In the 1700s there were an estimated 603M, at the end of 2021, 7.9B. Water and weather wars are possible. Actually, water wars are already starting – pollution prevention, Detroit, Standing Rock. We need to reassess our mandates for leadership – age and both physical and mental health. There are going to be some bumps. Some say, after the kinks are worked out, there will be a ‘Golden Age!’ Make it so. Or maybe that would be just toooo boring and other things will happen, LOL! Next! Evolution is no quitter!
• Young people born around 2003 will be about 20 in March 2023 and from 20 until they are 41, they will live this period. Their lives will be about this world changing time. Help them now. Prepare them to be strong and steady leaders. Strengthen everything Aquarius in your life. Capricorn will care for them, raise them, teach them life skills, put them to work. Show them the ways of the world. They will be able to maintain, live sustainably even in hard times and will teach their own children the important principles and skills of their time.
• We need to strengthen our Aquarian young people, our future leaders, and all Aquarians all the time! Pluto is tough on the sign it is in and at the same time empowers them! Pluto’s sign Scorpio squares, challenges Aquarius, so Pluto will be especially tense in Aquarius in the beginning. Growing pains take strength. Take time to listen, cheer them on. Admire their broad scope, how they get teams going, their care for humanity and our planet, their inventions and science. Help them know how to carry on even when they are not appreciated or understood. They are so intelligent, ahead of their time. They know that not everyone will understand their work, yet the work needs doing. Reassure them they will get better at it.
• Preparation is still needed. We are just barely peeking into the first half degree! The work for Pluto entering Aquarius has taken steady dedication, staying focused. Everything about how groups and friendships work, even now the Souls who can do this need to be gathered and trained and to practice, establish seed networks. The importance and techniques of research, knowing how change is brought about successfully, are the goals. The foundation needs to be set. It has been and will continue to be explored, tested and trialed by Saturn in the remaining time until the shift, and while Pluto is initially in Aquarius. 

Pluto is a water planet whose sign Scorpio sextiles Capricorn and Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008, will be off and on through 2024, 16 years! Pluto and Capricorn are very business minded, Capricorn at the counter, Pluto behind the scenes. They know how to work together. There have been losses and gains, dark sadness and amazing successes celebrated! See Pluto in Capricorn There will be a substantial foundation in place when Pluto goes into Aquarius. Since Saturn, Capricorn’s planet, has been in Aquarius since 2020, new techniques and networks are already in place for Pluto in Aquarius to step into. See Saturn in Aquarius Pluto will take over, and like a new president, will select his own cabinet team. Changes will be made. Pluto will make Aquarius more powerful. Some irreparable mistakes will be made, but learning in genius Aquarius will go quicker than lightning! Pluto is intense and extreme at times, gets to the bottom of things, so reboots will be quick too! Unlike his usual self, his new obsession will be deeper friendships than ever before and more of them, powerful networking! New expectations will be beyond remarkable.  

Pluto guards many secrets, financial status, the privacy of a patients’ well being often depends on it. Capricorn understands business confidentiality and research protection. He is all for Pluto wanting you to be stabilized within yourself, heal the cause of troubles, be able to protect yourself and maintain your gains. Your new life will be so busy. Pluto/Scorpio is the Kundalini fire within, ignited at the threshold. It represents transformation and its release! Many will be coming out of the darkness, happy to be here! Newborn babes. Capricorn will be called on to organize the recruits! He will be his best self, full of vim and vigor! He puts it all to work with a delighted saucy grin on his face! The best is yet to come, of course!

Aquarius and Capricorn are both flying high! Aquarius does the research; Capricorn manages the backup team and inaugurates some of his own! Aquarius is in the plane; Capricorn is likely on the ground, in the control tower, assuring all the materials are ordered, gathered and arrive when and where needed. The cause is righteous and the more people the merrier! Pluto has seen this happen before, loves the intensity, lets them go on intuition. They are on their way on the rails, their own momentum carrying them forward! Invention after invention will inspire them onward, each begetting the next! Pluto will step in if needed.

Evolution continues. Some go kicking and screaming. Others are happily screaming on that roller coaster on their way to glory!

SATURN All of 2022 Saturn was in Aquarius and was until March 7 2023. Saturn, Capricorn’s builder planet, brought oddly variable Aquarian talents together, has built extraordinary resource consulting networks. He has tapped connections, made astute changes quickly, grabbed them while they were available. Keeping up with the times, the changes have enhanced Saturn business immeasurably! Saturn is generally a more serious end game planet. Necessity and timeliness are important. This work has preceded Pluto’s shift into Aquarius, laying the foundation for that transition  

Saturn in Aquarius is semi sextile, neighboring, his own sign Capricorn! He is bringing the Capricorn building skills to bear on Aquarian research and the long term plans of futurist Aquarius. In Pisces March 7, 2023 to May 24, 2025, and again later while retrograde, Saturn sextiles Capricorn. He will be adeptly building the dreams many of us have long been anticipating! 

Capricorn is the high mountain sign. Saturn is Capricorn’s planet, a natural connection with Saturn in Aquarius, the sign after Capricorn! AQ is high elevation cold air, brisk and refreshing. They both like the challenge of discovery, icy winter sports – skating and skiing, freedom! Some neighboring signs, like Cap and AQ get along more easily than others. At times both are accused of being aloof, Capricorn because he is often the ‘cold hearted’ boss, and AQ because he is genius smart – bored and not always understood, thrives on being alone, uninterrupted in the work of the Universe, or game playing on his computer, LOL! They may more seek each other’s company because they are in similar, sometimes related work, building the bones of society in a new world order. They may be coworkers, could become friends. Aquarius tolerates odd differences, and Capricorn may feel more comfortable with this non judgmental person that has a few quirks of his own. Aquarius is useful to Capricorn, inventing what is needed on the fly! Capricorn keeps AQ in line and together they make fine networks. Sciences and research may bring wonderful offerings, especially regarding elder health and longevity, cryogenics. Aquarius is happy to see his work being put into good use. Saturn in Aquarius  

Saturn’s entry into Pisces March 7, 2023 preceded Jupiter’s conjunction with Chiron in Aries March 11 and the entire Gemini Mars retrograde cycle ending March 16. They all have led to Pluto’s entry into Aquarius March 23! That will be a challenging time of unknowns, demanding circumstances, a combination of soothing the wild, maintaining a stable foundation of many years in the making, and facing outright rebellion! For some it will be an explosion of consciousness! Some will be tightly perched on the abyss vowing to never let go. If it doesn’t activate your chart in any way at that time, you may wonder why all the fuss? Your turn will come.

Saturn in Pisces, the last sign of the Zodiac, will be a time of reckoning as well as maturity and completion. The dreams of all the signs will merge and become collective desire, an ultimate responsibility. 

Compared with Pisces’ sensitivity, Saturn can seem to be a brutally blunt instrument. Pisces is not used to being limited or channeled or pummeled into submission by someone else’s command. Saturn may bar or protect you from an experience, or demand you to take your responsibility in its behalf or to let go because it’s done now! Either can be a blessing or an ordeal to each other, probably a little of both until they get used to each other. Pisces understands Saturn all too well. Sometimes Saturn simply just loves giving orders; it’s what he does. Pisces wants so much more. Orders without a spiritual cause, without Soul or empathy are short of the mark. Saturn may be a bit shy about that factor. He may be a little intimidated by this limitless wonder who often calls the shots better than any business man Saturn has ever encountered. Respect starts. Pisces realizes Saturn is more deep than anticipated and has good intent though Saturn’s demeanor may belie that at first. 

Saturn is generally in a sign about 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 years, so we aren’t talking about a minor experience. As it traverses ALL your chart factors, you will feel different facets of the experience. Some will be more difficult than others. You might see your astrologer to track its path while in the sign. If you are a Pisces, a super sensitive sign, you especially may find it helpful, collecting your powers and applying them with astute psychic accuracy. When Saturn believes you, he will do his best to see your dreams built and come true! If your Saturn is in Pisces, at some point during Saturn in Pisces, you will be having your 28/29 year Saturn Return! It may be a profound time of knowing the Dharma of your life, refreshing, updating your outlook on your purpose this life.

Saturn in Pisces is importantly about building empathy. Empathy will be much needed as Pluto goes into Aquarius. Saturn will guard us from having too much empathy too long, being naive and misplacing our empathy. Saturn humbles us to let go of our arrogance, develop a deep caring. With Pluto in Aquarius there will be intense awareness of great differences among the peoples, from hatred to fear, cults to family feuds, simple misunderstanding. We will need to get to know each other and it won’t be overnight. Saturn will be new in his sign for only 17 days before Pluto becomes new in Aquarius! Each will make newbie mistakes, be alternately excited or OMG, what have we gotten into, what have I done?! In the beginning trial and error will slow us down, making for tiring long days for many. Saturn in Pisces holds the visions and though sometimes down, will usually come through steady and doing his best even with tough odds. Some will try to take advantage of vulnerabilities; others will stumble along, while still others will stand back and look for new ways to heal the planet! There will become amazing love of people and things we never expected.

With Saturn in Pisces, there will be reality checks on that wandering Pisces imagination. Saturn figures out how to put it to work! There will be less wandering aimlessly, confirmation of the realities of dreams, daily visible progress, oceanic trade and environmental laws to be made. They will survey the seas and shores, the importance of millions of miles of shorelines, prevention of pollution – debris and chemicals, assurance of abundant long term ocean harvests. Saturn may find himself on an ocean safari while in Pisces, or gone on the wind taking the computers to the surf zone when the surf’s up, whichever continent that may be on! Working from ‘home’ takes on new meaning! Really! Can be done!

On land, Saturn in Pisces may bring a deluge of cold water and ice, more snow. Or there may be no water at all. Water conservation and collection may be undertaken due to new insights as to the severity of conditions. Saturn will then be sextile Capricorn, his own sign. Capricorn may give successful fundamental oversight in guiding these important projects, reviewing and updating, keeping them on track. He tracks to be sure Pisces’ good intentions are carried out! Cold wet OR hot and dry, building secure shelters will be a necessity. In hot times cooling the land, building cool sustainable homes, and air conditioners, may be vital. There is satisfaction at holding an important piece of life in your hands and doing good by it! Any congratulations are well earned. Saturn in Pisces 

JUPITER, the planet of travel and education, changes signs in the 12 months to come. He sped through all of Aries in record time, less than 5 months, and May 16 entered Taurus! What a shift this is! It will be a damper for some, while for others a rest and deep organic sense of well being! It will heat up education and advocacy for Earth, our home. Some have been waiting so long for the coming significant changes. Once in Taurus, Jupiter does retrograde, but stays in Taurus until moving into Gemini May 25, 2024.

Jupiter, Sagittarius’s planet, is looking for purpose with integrity! It takes a core truth and educates as many as will listen to why it is meaningful and worthy. Jupiter has a bold and confident way, expands, embellishes, gives extra! It’s edifying, LOL! Jupiter likes to play and tell whopper stories, laughs big laughs with gusto, has a great big dog and rides the winning horse! The sign lucky Jupiter is in, is the sign that succeeds and prospers, the sign that trainings occur in. Major tours are possible and successful impossible dreams come true! It’s time to push the river a bit while the Gateway is open! 

Jupiter in Taurus may be slower, but none the less powerful. In a ‘fixed’ sign, he likely holds strong opinions and possibly a wrestling trophy! His bench presses are phenomenal. He has staying power like long distance truckers. Marathons are no problem. He likes money whether on the hoof, cash in pocket or reliably invested, especially in land and minerals. Taurus loves touch, sex, massage, natural beauty, fine scents, good food and common sense. Calm restfulness, centered peace, being grounded and patient are treasured traits. Jupiter in Taurus simplifies, installs and grounds the successful new projects, makes them sustainable, maintains and upgrades them for posterity. In Taurus he organizes vast estates, recovers the lands’ fertility, stockpiles the finest materials for future use. He has one of the strongest, most healthy beautiful bodies around! See more Jupiter in Taurus

As signs change, talents are commingled, the Path between them becoming a usable channel. Jupiter in Pisces, Aries and Taurus will develop their own smooth channels. In Pisces-Aries, it is super aware, sensitive, instantly reactive! Groups of crusaders are attracting and further developing adept leaders, rich with innovative foresight! The beauty of the Aries to Taurus transition is that Aries passes the baton to Taurus for safekeeping! Taurus holds the precious ideas of Aries until they can take root, maintain their own life. When Pluto entered Aquarius, Jupiter was at 17° Aries in a FIVE planets Aries stellium including Sun and Moon, a double Aries Chart! Aries is THE Action sign! That’s what I call a NEW beginning! See the stunning chart! 

Portals are all around us.

Some are temporary, some are always there. Some are annual like the August 8 Lion’s Gate. No two are alike, take us different places. Some are one way, others are two way but perhaps only at certain intervals – you have to be there or… Some lifetimes there are none, others have several passages. And there are the portals into and out of life. In astrology these are sign changes and aspects formed between planets. 2023’s big one is Pluto’s 246 year sign change into Aquarius!

Jupiter makes three 2023 planetary aspects. All three are once only, no retrograde second and third chances. The first aspect, Jupiter conjunct Chiron, was significantly just days before Pluto shifted into Aquarius. The first was while Jupiter was in Aries. The last two are while Jupiter is in Taurus. The last one is after Pluto returns to review Capricorn, a hugely different context than Aquarius! Jupiter sextiles Saturn, Capricorn’s planet. It is a Soul seeking Taurus/Pisces aspect in a new times reality for Capricorn… 

3) June 19, Jupiter in Taurus sextiles Saturn in Pisces is the last aspect of 2023! After that time there are no more sign changes or further aspects! That doesn’t mean YOU won’t have any aspects the rest of the year because the planets are still moving; it’s just that they are not connecting with each other!

Now that the initial challenging square with Pluto has passed, Jupiter will speed up Taurus. Taurus will likely absorb some of Jupiter’s action and translate it to more solid application, actually getting more done. There will be less time for running around, running away. Taurus will be intrigued with some of Jupiter’s thinking and broader perspectives. In Taurus, Jupiter may find a longing to return to the land of his forbears. It is a natural homing instinct for grounding and centering. Ley Lines may take on an unexpected significance. A journey may be made along a path that many have taken. As each Pilgrim travels over the ground, a fraction of their scent is left, an imprint added to all the others of before, compelling the Pilgrim to follow. The content of the scent shifts and the purpose of the destination changes with the times as the content is altered. The collective scent alters the collective consciousness of the most recent travelers. We all are walking through time together.

With Saturn, the Capricorn planet, opportunities will be put to good use and tempered through time. Saturn in Pisces will ‘read’ the Pisces dreamtime and Pisces will lead him through these remarkable channels. He will incorporate the wisdom of Saturn elders on the Path and the infinite Pisces insights to beyond the Jupiter destination! It will be more productive than ever expected!    

Definitely time for more options and opportunities. Jupiter’s manner may be a bit ‘big’ for Taurus’s peaceful style, but the ideas are intriguing. Whether stock or plants, the two can work out what breeds and varieties make sense. Taurus will need to hear and hands on test how the ideas can be implemented. Saturn and Taurus, both earthy, work well together. Taurus grows the food, landscapes. Saturn looks for workable shelter and building locations, builds the greenhouse, backs up with current research and in Pisces, secures the water situation. Business can improve steadily. With Pisces visions and sensitivity, they are guided gently to open up to working intricately together. Jupiter is good at teaching and the whole crew will be on board, especially when the results start coming in. 

Saturn likes Jupiter’s far sighted long term plans, expansive steady financial growth in Taurus. Saturn, like Taurus, is conservative and protective, provides a realistic framework for managing funds, secures or builds structures for homes and business that will last, ie those sustainable tiny homes or ADUs – Accessory Dwelling Units! Pisces and Capricorn’s planet Saturn, water and earth, dreamer and worker, will aspire to building a temple of life and spirit, and it will draw pilgrims from afar. Pisces looks at Soul matters. Jupiter will be the preacher! Saturn is quite happy that Jupiter is an action oriented fire planet, no supervision needed – just keep it interesting so Jupiter doesn’t wander off! Greater meaning makes the work they do important to many more people. It insures a deep connection of Spirit that is as well a blessing to their life work, careers and business, to say nothing of their health. There is great promise. See more

♦ 2024!

April 20 is the first of Jupiter’s six different 2024 aspects, Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Taurus!

As Jupiter has moved through all the signs year by year, Uranus has also moved forward! Their June 8 2010 conjunction was quite rowdy in Aries. This one in Taurus will be quieter, but dedicated and determined, solid achievement! The gains of Uranus’ innovative processes will be well guarded, anchored and maintained. But for Taurus, it will be one wild aspect! Jupiter and Uranus are both total freedom lovers! You can tell Jupiter many hero stories of travels, but just the same, Taurus will stand his ground and may surprise you by opting to stay home. On the other hand, an unexpected sudden move may happen! Who would have thought?! Uranus takes freedom as far is it will go! Jupiter and Uranus are both rather ungovernable. They will find the other way and it will most assuredly be more fun…LOL! Plan something crazy and wonderful! Up the amps on your education opportunity and stick to it! Gather your friends and build an eco friendly earth home! The results might cost more than expected, but in the long term worth every penny! Jupiter is long distance travel, and Uranus is flight, the heavens! Keep your feet on the ground and look UP!

May 23 Jupiter sextiles Neptune at 29 Taurus/Pisces 30. Jupiter enters Gemini 2 days later, May 25.

Jupiter and Neptune have a religious and spiritual undercurrent. The 29th degree, called the anaretic degree, the last degree of any sign, has an ending note to it, a finality, maturity, completion, a lasting achievement! Some say fate, final judgement. Neptune in his own sign Pisces has a maximum finality due to being in the last sign of the zodiac, the end of an era! Being at the close of the gate, there are decisions to be made. Some are hesitant, others can’t wait to be gone! There is a crucial tone to the time, now or never!

Jupiter is on a 12 year cycle while Neptune is considerably different at 168 years! Jupiter will enter Gemini immediately. Neptune however, is moving very slowly about to retrograde at that 29th degree on July 22, staying within a degree of the RX point until Sep 5, 3 and a 1/2 months! Due to further RXs Neptune comes back to that degree position in 2025 and ’26! Those times no further aspect is made with Jupiter, but the degree is activated. It holds the energy of that sextile with Jupiter for 3 years! It will be more profound and long term that it first appears. Sometimes when we connect well with good aspects, we just have a good time. But if we track it, make notes, we can purposely add to it later when we know even more! If you don’t track it, you may have memories and not quite remember what it was all about.

Jupiter, the preacher and teacher, has opinions, is usually benevolent. If opinionated and judgmental, it’s a lot less fun. In Taurus change may come slowly, but surely! Dedication and patience as a teacher can be phenomenal. Neptune is still powerfully in his own sign, doesn’t move into Aries until Mar 30, 2025! His connection with Spirit is generally through mediation, a dream, a belief he has experienced deeply, uncanny music that calls us, an inner voice. Compassion and transcendence are basic. The most difficult are addiction factors. Jupiter may be the healer with alternatives that make the difference. Neptune in Pisces may show Jupiter how it is important to connect directly with ‘God’ rather than solely by old scripture. Each has a broad spectrum. Jupiter’s travels have showed him how many ways there are to get to the mountain top. Pisces has seen the invisible and has psychic perception that defies logic. Sextiles offer opportunities of compatible signs. Taurus is Earth, Pisces is Ocean water, the millions of miles of  Shorelines of the continents. It’s symbolically the connection between our body on earth and the oceanic Spirit one can’t touch or see, an ungovernable unknown that we ‘know.’

May 25 Jupiter into Gemini while the Sun is IN Gemini! Jupiter is the Sagittarius planet; Sagittarius is Gemini’s opposite sign! Essentially we will have a combination with two minds! That’s nothing new to Gemini, but Jupiter is more one pointed, like the arrow to the bullseye! Yet Gemini is multi minded and Jupiter is generally broadminded! They both have quite a bit of flex, both easily distracted, take off in a moment. But when Jupiter has purpose, he may send Gemini on a data gathering mission. If Jupiter gets a little opinionated, ironically the Gemini part of their combo may deluge him with ideas and facts that get him thinking, may expand and alter his point of view due to his own actions! Gemini also gets bored at times, but may not want to travel as far as Jupiter wants to. He may impress Jupiter that there is plenty to do right here! Jupiter says you need a bigger window to see more and they may try each others’ ways, but both will likely still be restless. They are fathomlessly curious. 

Jupiter might meander, stopping at the local university library, chatting with well known profs, while Gemini darts in for the news bites at the nearby popular students’ coffee house! Students are the trendsetters! Jupiter may guide, hold a larger parameter, go for the meaning of things. Gemini gathers and tracks backup data, follows the shifting moods of the people, goes for telling the latest news. Jupiter thinks of publishing a book of the whole story of those times and location, looks for significant trends, how that will affect others. Together they can be dynamite as they ride both sides of the fence! 

Enjoy these powerful intense times! The possibilities are compelling!

The Galactic Center, Fixed Star Algol and Planet Pluto!

All three of these are dark characters! The Galactic Center is a gigantic black hole! Algol has a dark reputation, ie beheadings, when your lights go out. Pluto, ruler of the underworld, is the furthest planet from the Sun, the darkest and frozen to boot!

Fixed star ALGOL and the GC are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. Currently Algol is at 26 Taurus and the GC is 27 Sagittarius. Whenever one is activated, so is the other. Algol and the GC have an oblique off center position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics. They ‘see’ peripheral factors that influence the outcome. Inconjuncts sometimes lead you on a goose chase, but maybe to greener pastures. You do get a greater perspective. Even if you go back home, you are different. You have perhaps made new friends and associates that can carry that sector for you. Excellent adjustments are in the offing. Destination Algol would not usually be a conscious choice, but sometimes it is part of our Path and it just happens. Square your shoulders and do it, eyes wide open. Fascinating encounter.

Algol is the baddest Star according to some! It is a rare triple star, an eclipsing binary, which means it blinks, and changes brightness, even ‘disappears!’ It is the Medusa’s Head, carried in the left hand of the Hero, Perseus. On the dark side, ‘It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens.’ Some say it’s not the ‘bad’ within us but pushing through blockages to the beauty beyond is what really matters. We can face our demons with sincere intent and life changes for the better! See more!  See more about the spiritual side…

Algol’s bad rep, strikes fear in a lot of hearts, but so does the Galactic Center when people find out it is one gigantic black hole!!! You could vanish in an instant! You astral travelers might should be careful? I like to think of Algol as the GC’s Guardian. Algol is considered to be a super powerful feminine force. It would take such an entity to protect the mighty GC! Their off center relationship may take you on the road less followed, so to speak. There is a draw to explore. Algol is ready to stomp her feet and ‘invite’ you to travel, or takes you another place once the GC’s info has been bestowed, a place that needs the information the most. More on the Galactic Center! 

Many give Algol a wide berth, plan carefully astrologically. To be on the safe side, Astrologers often allow 5 degrees for the effective range with Algol while most stars get only 1 degree range. If in neighboring signs, only 3 or less degrees might be used. If you have chart factors in that 5 degree range, one way or another you are connected with Algol. If you have questions, do see your astrologer.

Pluto retrogrades May 1 at 0 AQ 21 and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels. Anytime it is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol. That period started Feb 2020, virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Pluto has been having the Algol experience, and is one of the few who can stand up under this trial. Very luckily, the trine is the most favorable angle, so though not unscathed, he survives. Both Pluto and Algol are respected and incur life and death situations. One hopes the trine bends the relationship with Algol to a more satisfactory outcome. Earth signs, like Capricorn, especially being the last Earth sign, are a bit ‘indelible.’ Their effects are more long lasting. Keep turning the tables on Algol’s bad rep. Stay calm in the face of violence, even your own anger. Shift your connections so better can happen. Know your rights and choose safety unless/even if you are trying to save someone’s life. If you are the offender, get all the help you can to change. Many a fine leader has come from a dark place. See more!

As to that great fierce feminine troublemaker Algol in Taurus, Capricorn is in a favorable working trine. Capricorn is rather invincible himself, gets stronger as he gets older! He too is protective, so has empathy and a very respectful rapport. Capricorn knows power when he sees it, and knows to engage carefully. Algol may find it intriguing that Capricorn may want to renovate some long standing troubles into viable situations. She doesn’t have to scare this one. He has had troubles of his own, and pulled himself up. He is a natural hard worker. Their mutual satisfaction may bring amazing laughter, loosening some of her age old pain and some of his, more recent. There is hope against the odds!

Capricorn is the neighboring sign just beyond Sagittarius, the Galactic Center’s own sign! He has watched the GC’s mighty strides all his life. In fact, some of that huge well of information has always been a part of him. Without much ado, many Capricorns have phenomenal insights and successes. They work and work and work, inspired by what they know can happen. Cap learns early what his boundaries are, and generally doesn’t overstep his position. They really are not to be underestimated. They are masters of their trades, fine mentors. They take strong parental, family and community responsibility. 

♦♦ When Pluto is in Aquarius, some think Pluto will be getting a bit beyond the range considered to have effect for these types of aspects. But. The GC has an enormous range, Aquarius, the sign of the heavens, is by nature resonant to the Galaxy. I would still allow for their connection. Sagittarius is a mighty traveler, no distance too far, and Aquarius is the sign of flight. Easy travels for them and a huge range of knowledge passes between them. That gets shared by Sagittarius stories and teaching, and through the Aquarian electric computer humanitarian networking! There will be fewer strangers on the planet. We will ‘know’ each other, be fellow travelers – Sagittarius and friends – Aquarius. Our hearts and minds will be expanded. Pluto keeps thing clean and clear, heals the deeper schisms that occur in our fears, the deepest dark roots corners that have been in our memories for centuries. A true freedom and unity become possible.  

So, when Pluto is in Aquarius, some will still consider PL to still be trine Algol, called an out-of-sign trine. Aquarius and Taurus are not famously easy together. They are fixed signs, in spite of AQ being the sign of r/evolutionary change! Each has strong opinions, Taurus usually quieter about it; Aquarius making headlines! When they get along, Taurus rules grounding, while AQ rules the heavens, Heaven and Earth! In their own ways each stable, but they sure have different vantage points! Taurus is growing veggies while AQ is out gallivanting in behalf of the planet. Taurus calms Aquarius and supports his sorties. AQ knows there is someone to come home to that accepts him, is patient, sensible, dependable, and AQ trusts. Aquarius keeps Taurus up on the latest and fully spices his life. Geometrically, they are trine, a favorable aspect, so there are differences, but their ‘heavenly’ relationship is to their favor.

AstroLocality!

If your changes during 2023, 24, include moving, you are or will be truly on Jupiter in Aries time through May 16! Jupiter is location; Aries is new! He feels refreshed when on that land. It’s a springboard! Jupiter in Taurus chooses land that makes him feel a connection that feels good under his feet! But with Jupiter in Taurus moves are less likely. A trailer is more likely, a home you can take with you. 

If you already moved, take a look at your AstroLocality map and Relocation Charts to see the meaning of your move and its potentials! If you haven’t picked your location yet, or have but not moved yet, you might change your mind. First, take a look at maps that show areas of conflict, drought, disasters. Conflicts take years of recovery; droughts and disasters take years of remediation. Think in terms of sustainability and a clean water supply. See your AstroLocality astrologer for advices on personal locations best for what and the best timing! Depending on your finances, be cautious about moves during 2023 Mercury and Venus retrograde periods, especially their double retrograde time. If it is a necessity at a retrograde time, know that there will be further changes and factor in the costs that go with that. If you are buying a home as well, top priority may be that it is a good investment per resale value since you may change your mind about keeping it. Renting is recommended until times are more stable. With the Jupiter sign change in May, and the Saturn and Pluto changes in March, a lot of mind changing will be happening. Also, Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn June 11 through Jan 2024.

Particularly note that late summer we are looking at heartful and hardworking Leo/Virgo Venus/Mercury DOUBLE RETROGRADE! The Venus retrograde cycle 12 to 28 Leo starts first, June 19 (the day of the Jupiter sextile Saturn – the last 2023 aspect). Venus finishes Oct 7. It is retrograde July 22 – Sep 3. Mercury starts his cycle Aug 3, finishes Sep 29, 8 to 21 Virgo 49. He is Rx Aug 23 to Sep 15. The DOUBLE RX is at back to school time, off to college, a common time to move, Aug 23 to Sep 3 (Labor Day weekend)! Don’t be surprised if there soon is another housing change… See more, Item 2) at this link!

Returns! Returns are a special time when a planet orbits back to your original birth point. It reminds you of the purity of its purpose in your life. Saturn’s refreshes your outlook on your Dharma, the work of your Soul. Jupiter’s refreshes your gift of how you learn/teach and travel life! If your return is in a degree that will be in retrograde, you will have it three times.

During Taurus’ year, Saturn covers 4 to 15 Pisces. Those of you with your Saturns in those degrees will be having your 28/29 year Saturn Return(s)!

If your Jupiter is 23 Aries, to 21 Taurus, you will have your 11/12 year Jupiter Return(s) in Gemini’s year. 

Lunar patterns 2023-24!

New Moons: 21 and 20 degrees, Sep 14, 2023 to March 10, 2024. April 8, 2024 at 19 degrees.
Full Moons: 4 and 5 degrees, Oct 28, 2023 to April 23, 2024  

Those of you with factors at or within 3 degrees of these will be activated! Set your goals for these periods and approach them progressively from every angle, every sign! Your project will gain volume and wholeness as you go ~ Lay out your plan per sign then expect to update as you grow with it and more possibilities become apparent, available! 

With Pluto’s new mission in Aquarius, retrograding back to Capricorn then returning to AQ, we will be having an intense year as we get started making significant world changes and personal changes finding our places in this new time! Pluto returning to Capricorn will update Cap and strengthen that foundation. He will bring more of Capricorn’s important worthy work of this last 14 years forward into the new auspice of Aquarius. Cap deserves the recognition. Aquarius is blessed. Thank you to all you Gemini’s for keeping the communications channels humming!

Keep the Word, Gemini!

Updated for each sign annually

Happy Taurus, Earth, Arbor & Mother’s Day!

Pluto Newly into Aquarius, Jupiter into Taurus!

Taurus Celestial HighLights, Timeline, Overview!.

Keep your feet on the ground, your Spirit in the Sky!

Taurus, 2023’s third most important Sign after Aquarius and Aries!

Permaculture for Schools, image by Josh Davis! From Cumberland, British Columbia, Canada, Josh has a background in sustainability, permaculture, outdoor education, youth work and event management. In many regions, Taurus is planting time whether your own garden or great fields of abundance!

Appreciating our natural world is Taurus’ gift to us. Dig your toes in the soil, look up to the trees, and their rooftop, the sky in all his glory whether it is beauty blue or storming the rain we need! Sun God warms our crops in the daytime; Mother Moon and dark night we are receptive to messages from the Great Ones and Little People. 

What makes us strong?

Adversity – losing all you have, home, love, everything. Perhaps living in an emergency shelter, as a refugee. Perhaps losing your prowess as you age.

Abundance! It inspires us and makes us pay attention, keep learning, keep planning, stay centered while pulling the plow. It takes a strong healthy mind and attitude to keep up! Abundance brings overflow and time to set up distribution to share the blessings! 

Advocacy. It takes emotional strength, physical strength if you are working at a shelter, for humans or animals. Day in, day out, perseverance is developed as a high skill! The charge of the Bull must be perfectly timed and targeted for the most effect. Keep yourself in prime condition. Stay focused.

Recovery. Health and disability matters take everything we’ve got and then some. Discipline and strength are needed to have the humility to get help when needed, especially if addictions are involved.  

Personal Beauty! Dedication and practical learning, physical efforts, cosmetics and clothing make our bodies strong, give us organic attractiveness. We magnetize people to share with. 

Sincere Charm, Grace and Gentle Kindness may take a little longer to develop. We long for these blessings.

Our Soul. We are connected to a Higher Power even when we are walking barefoot on Mother Earth. Souls are always inquisitive, and at the same time grant us potent insights. It’s our job to let go of fear and embrace the Soul’s callings. We learn to maintain our courage at the gate of potential. Sometimes just standing there is the beginning. We get used to the possibilities, see the goodness that can come. We have our invitation and at a certain moment take that first step along the Path. Steps may be small at first, take the time they take. Gradually we gain momentum. Ha! Sometimes we charge!

Taurus keeps right on glowing, humming the tune of Spirit, never gives up. Glory may be a quiet affair, but we arrive in Peace. We are touched, and so blessed.

Aries is the sign of the Zodiacal New Year! With FIVE planets in Aries, including Moon and Sun, a double Aries chart, it greeted and celebrated Pluto’s 246 year entry into Aquarius! Taurus is now the sign that is stabilizing the new niche and anchors the gains of the new beginnings of this powerful Initiation! Please review this amazing Chart and more about the event!

Famous words for Taurus are ‘Steady in the Light.’ They are calm in the storm and during the chaos of the excitement of the exploration of new territory! They give super strong shelter that rests us as we tussle with getting things in place. Our young ones are safe in their strong arms. We sleep in comfort. 

Taurus is the first Earth sign, rules Mother Earth. Taurus makes sure we grow substantial supplies of food for all, tends our bodies faithfully, makes walkabout clothes that serve us well. We in turn make beauty, cosmetically personally, sculpt our land for water holding, sculpt wood, metal and stone as important markers of the memories of our times and people of honor. 

Relationships are often long term, with our homes, our people, loved ones, business alliances. Like a blacksmith, they patiently forge profound connections that are healing. We save each other, even from ourselves! Wise preservation is a unique skill.

Sitting still like the Buddha, gives our bodies time to melt and meld with Mother Earth, get grounded. The Bull stands in the meadow… It gives our mind the chance to still, be open to receive. There may be no rousing Hallelujah, instead a simple perception, a knowing, that we come to peacefully, that we advocate because it is basic and true. No need for fanfare. It speaks for itself. 

Leadership is simple. You just do it and others are magnetized by its organic reality, natural do-ability. They too want to connect and touch it. Once they get started, they are steady with maintenance. They are loyal and do not abandon without a very good reason. 

Your Soul is pleased.

Thank you, Taurus, blessed be always.

Taurus Overview 2023 to May 2024!

Paolina Bonaparte Borghese as Venus Victrix, marble sculpture by Antonio Canova, 1805–08. The Borghese Gallery, Rome.

One of Taurus’s special talents is Sculpting, in so many ways. From the historic Golden Bull of ancient Egypt, the invaluable oxen of indigenous peoples that sculpted our food growing fields to May Day’s fertility, to today’s Golden Bull symbol of wealth on Wall street and politically. From long lasting classical figures in marble to computer future fictional and fantasy characters to Tibetan sand mandalas that are swept away, to sands sculptings below the tide line to ephemeral ice sculpting. Today we have land art like the fields of light that sculpt at night. Many a museum has exquisite items of wood carving, clay cooking pieces, metals tools and art and precious cut stones that inspire us, even bring us to tears by their intrinsic beauty and meaning.

Personally we shape our faces with our hair, beautiful cosmetics. We use electric devices to sculpt our bodies along with sophisticated exercises nutrition and body work! Taurus touch healing and massage move our body flow, toxins out, good breath in. When we write and speak, we sculpt our words to bring depth and feeling to illustrate as if we were there! We sculpt our land, to build our homes, landscape with beauty, grow our gardens. The mediums we work with are myriad. 

Taurus is Mother Earth herself. Earth Day started in 1970, 53 years ago. Climate work is our ultimate work today. Fires and floods, cyclones and wind and snow, are sculpting things powerfully. Rather than rebuild, rebuild better! Remediation is the sensible new word. It all takes time and patience, sometimes your whole life.

Insist on making y/our own life more beautiful in 2023! Jupiter in Taurus, starting May 16, begs for international travel to art museums and schools! Align with the beauty in your life, those whose life talents are artists at whatever it is they do! It’s time for a studio. Blessed be and have fun!

2023 features Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto Sign Changes, Super Portal Pluto’s 246 year entry into Aquarius, retrograde back into Capricorn. And, like 2022, makes only 3 outer Planet aspects, only once each, in the first part of the year, all by Jupiter. All the sign changes and the last aspect are made by June 19, and then there is NO other action! Probably the intensity of Pluto’s sign change is enough!

That doesn’t mean YOU won’t have any aspects the rest of the year because the planets are still moving; it’s just that they are not connecting with each other!    

Pluto is now 0 degree Aquarius! He is merely taking a preliminary peek into Aquarius as his first venture in his new sign. He retrogrades May 1, Beltane, at 0 AQ 21, that’s less than half a degree into AQ! He is returning to Capricorn June 11, carrying the seeds of AQ with him. He goes back to Capricorn to review, update in context of Aquarian findings, and bring the appropriate Cap benefits forward into AQ now that he knows more about Aquarius. This is an important cross sign retrograde. 

PLUTO made that stupendous 246 year sign change into Aquarius Mar 23, 2023! We need Aquarius to be strong, in working order, integrated and grounded among ourselves, in our communities, internationally. Pluto will be in Aquarius 21 years, until January 2044! See more!

• Pluto in Aquarius will bring a new time. Pluto is water sign Scorpio’s planet and Pluto and air sign Aquarius are not exactly ‘compatible.’ Pluto has a ton of charisma, yet is as much private as Aquarius can’t help but bring attention by his simple presence. AQ is exotic, super intelligent, often revels in neon colors, odd/unique looks and attire, has electric static. He can get attention for being THE archetypal loner, or the brilliant head of a world humanitarian organization. Pluto is used to going it alone and having plenty of behind the scenes power, but Aquarius may be calling on the pantheon that collectively has more power than Pluto and his corporations! Transparency is called for. Pluto is going to have some adjusting to do. He may be concerned for loss of privacy, be a bit jealous too. At the very worst, there could be power struggles for world rule, including genocide. Or they will synthesize for mutual goals. They will do fundraising like never seen before! Pluto may gather the world’s top wealthy humanitarians and sustainable advocates and make governments of countries look small by comparison. Since these groups will have no governmental constraints, they may bring the world together when governments couldn’t. By comparison, the financially unsupported United Nations may become passé, or it’s possible, its structure already in place, may be revitalized! Comprehensive large scale inventor/researcher work could do very well to sustain and amplify their efforts.
• All the Aquarian flavored aspects we had in 2021, early 2022, gave us a head start. We’ll do Pluto in Aquarius better! Pluto was last in Aquarius 246 years ago, 1777 to 1799, a 22 year period of worldwide uproar and change – American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution in England. And it won’t be any different this time! Guarantee! So get your friends and alliances/networks in working order, stand up, get used to acting progressively, and be ready to roll! Some will mightily resist; others will persist with new ideas. Change will beget change. Take a peek at what Patrick Watson has to say on Pluto per sign historically. Check out what Lynn Hayes has to say about what Dylan Love has to say on transhumanism.

• Since that last 246 years ago we now have bombs, climate change, an ongoing pandemic, electronic communication, robotics, and a helluva a lot more people on the planet. In the 1700s there were an estimated 603M, at the end of 2021, 7.9B. Water and weather wars are possible. Actually, water wars are already starting – pollution prevention, Detroit, Standing Rock. We need to reassess our mandates for leadership – age and both physical and mental health. There are going to be some bumps. Some say, after the kinks are worked out, there will be a ‘Golden Age!’ Make it so. Or maybe that would be just toooo boring and other things will happen, LOL! Next! Evolution is no quitter!
• Young people born around 2003 will be about 20 in March 2023 and from 20 until they are 41, they will live this period. Their lives will be about this world changing time. Help them now. Prepare them to be strong and steady leaders. Strengthen everything Aquarius in your life. Capricorn will care for them, raise them, teach them life skills, put them to work. Show them the ways of the world. They will be able to maintain, live sustainably even in hard times and will teach their own children the important principles and skills of their time.
• We need to strengthen our Aquarian young people, our future leaders, and all Aquarians all the time! Pluto is tough on the sign it is in and at the same time empowers them! Pluto’s sign Scorpio squares, challenges Aquarius, so Pluto will be especially tense in Aquarius in the beginning. Growing pains take strength. Take time to listen, cheer them on. Admire their broad scope, how they get teams going, their care for humanity and our planet, their inventions and science. Help them know how to carry on even when they are not appreciated or understood. They are so intelligent, ahead of their time. They know that not everyone will understand their work, yet the work needs doing. Reassure them they will get better at it.
• Preparation is still needed. We are just barely peeking into the first half degree! The work for Pluto entering Aquarius has taken steady dedication, staying focused. Everything about how groups and friendships work, even now the Souls who can do this need to be gathered and trained and to practice, establish seed networks. The importance and techniques of research, knowing how change is brought about successfully, are the goals. The foundation needs to be set. It has been and will continue to be explored, tested and trialed by Saturn in the remaining time until the shift, and while Pluto is initially in Aquarius. 

Pluto is a water planet whose sign Scorpio sextiles Capricorn and Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008, will be off and on through 2024, 16 years! Pluto and Capricorn are very business minded, Capricorn at the counter, Pluto behind the scenes. They know how to work together. There have been losses and gains, dark sadness and amazing successes celebrated! See Pluto in Capricorn There will be a substantial foundation in place when Pluto goes into Aquarius. Since Saturn, Capricorn’s planet, has been in Aquarius since 2020, new techniques and networks are already in place for Pluto in Aquarius to step into. See Saturn in Aquarius Pluto will take over, and like a new president, will select his own cabinet team. Changes will be made. Pluto will make Aquarius more powerful. Some irreparable mistakes will be made, but learning in genius Aquarius will go quicker than lightning! Pluto is intense and extreme at times, gets to the bottom of things, so reboots will be quick too! Unlike his usual self, his new obsession will be deeper friendships than ever before and more of them, powerful networking! New expectations will be beyond remarkable.  

Pluto guards many secrets, financial status, the privacy of a patients’ well being often depends on it. Capricorn understands business confidentiality and research protection. He is all for Pluto wanting you to be stabilized within yourself, heal the cause of troubles, be able to protect yourself and maintain your gains. Your new life will be so busy. Pluto/Scorpio is the Kundalini fire within, ignited at the threshold. It represents transformation and its release! Many will be coming out of the darkness, happy to be here! Newborn babes. Capricorn will be called on to organize the recruits! He will be his best self, full of vim and vigor! He puts it all to work with a delighted saucy grin on his face! The best is yet to come, of course!

Aquarius and Capricorn are both flying high! Aquarius does the research; Capricorn manages the backup team and inaugurates some of his own! Aquarius is in the plane; Capricorn is likely on the ground, in the control tower, assuring all the materials are ordered, gathered and arrive when and where needed. The cause is righteous and the more people the merrier! Pluto has seen this happen before, loves the intensity, lets them go on intuition. They are on their way on the rails, their own momentum carrying them forward! Invention after invention will inspire them onward, each begetting the next! Pluto will step in if needed.

Evolution continues. Some go kicking and screaming. Others are happily screaming on that roller coaster on their way to glory!

SATURN All of 2022 Saturn was in Aquarius and was until March 7 2023. Saturn, Capricorn’s builder planet, brought oddly variable Aquarian talents together, has built extraordinary resource consulting networks. He has tapped connections, made astute changes quickly, grabbed them while they were available. Keeping up with the times, the changes have enhanced Saturn business immeasurably! Saturn is generally a more serious end game planet. Necessity and timeliness are important. This work has preceded Pluto’s shift into Aquarius, laying the foundation for that transition  

Saturn in Aquarius is semi sextile, neighboring, his own sign Capricorn! He is bringing the Capricorn building skills to bear on Aquarian research and the long term plans of futurist Aquarius. In Pisces March 7, 2023 to May 24, 2025, and again later while retrograde, Saturn sextiles Capricorn. He will be adeptly building the dreams many of us have long been anticipating! 

Capricorn is the high mountain sign. Saturn is Capricorn’s planet, a natural connection with Saturn in Aquarius, the sign after Capricorn! AQ is high elevation cold air, brisk and refreshing. They both like the challenge of discovery, icy winter sports – skating and skiing, freedom! Some neighboring signs, like Cap and AQ get along more easily than others. At times both are accused of being aloof, Capricorn because he is often the ‘cold hearted’ boss, and AQ because he is genius smart – bored and not always understood, thrives on being alone, uninterrupted in the work of the Universe, or game playing on his computer, LOL! They may more seek each other’s company because they are in similar, sometimes related work, building the bones of society in a new world order. They may be coworkers, could become friends. Aquarius tolerates odd differences, and Capricorn may feel more comfortable with this non judgmental person that has a few quirks of his own. Aquarius is useful to Capricorn, inventing what is needed on the fly! Capricorn keeps AQ in line and together they make fine networks. Sciences and research may bring wonderful offerings, especially regarding elder health and longevity, cryogenics. Aquarius is happy to see his work being put into good use. Saturn in Aquarius  

Saturn’s entry into Pisces March 7, 2023 preceded Jupiter’s conjunction with Chiron in Aries March 11 and the entire Gemini Mars retrograde cycle ending March 16. They all have led to Pluto’s entry into Aquarius March 23! That will be a challenging time of unknowns, demanding circumstances, a combination of soothing the wild, maintaining a stable foundation of many years in the making, and facing outright rebellion! For some it will be an explosion of consciousness! Some will be tightly perched on the abyss vowing to never let go. If it doesn’t activate your chart in any way at that time, you may wonder why all the fuss? Your turn will come.

Saturn in Pisces, the last sign of the Zodiac, will be a time of reckoning as well as maturity and completion. The dreams of all the signs will merge and become collective desire, an ultimate responsibility. 

Compared with Pisces’ sensitivity, Saturn can seem to be a brutally blunt instrument. Pisces is not used to being limited or channeled or pummeled into submission by someone else’s command. Saturn may bar or protect you from an experience, or demand you to take your responsibility in its behalf or to let go because it’s done now! Either can be a blessing or an ordeal to each other, probably a little of both until they get used to each other. Pisces understands Saturn all too well. Sometimes Saturn simply just loves giving orders; it’s what he does. Pisces wants so much more. Orders without a spiritual cause, without Soul or empathy are short of the mark. Saturn may be a bit shy about that factor. He may be a little intimidated by this limitless wonder who often calls the shots better than any business man Saturn has ever encountered. Respect starts. Pisces realizes Saturn is more deep than anticipated and has good intent though Saturn’s demeanor may belie that at first. 

Saturn is generally in a sign about 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 years, so we aren’t talking about a minor experience. As it traverses ALL your chart factors, you will feel different facets of the experience. Some will be more difficult than others. You might see your astrologer to track its path while in the sign. If you are a Pisces, a super sensitive sign, you especially may find it helpful, collecting your powers and applying them with astute psychic accuracy. When Saturn believes you, he will do his best to see your dreams built and come true! If your Saturn is in Pisces, at some point during Saturn in Pisces, you will be having your 28/29 year Saturn Return! It may be a profound time of knowing the Dharma of your life, refreshing, updating your outlook on your purpose this life.

Saturn in Pisces is importantly about building empathy. Empathy will be much needed as Pluto goes into Aquarius. Saturn will guard us from having too much empathy too long, being naive and misplacing our empathy. Saturn humbles us to let go of our arrogance, develop a deep caring. With Pluto in Aquarius there will be intense awareness of great differences among the peoples, from hatred to fear, cults to family feuds, simple misunderstanding. We will need to get to know each other and it won’t be overnight. Saturn will be new in his sign for only 17 days before Pluto becomes new in Aquarius! Each will make newbie mistakes, be alternately excited or OMG, what have we gotten into, what have I done?! In the beginning trial and error will slow us down, making for tiring long days for many. Saturn in Pisces holds the visions and though sometimes down, will usually come through steady and doing his best even with tough odds. Some will try to take advantage of vulnerabilities; others will stumble along, while still others will stand back and look for new ways to heal the planet! There will become amazing love of people and things we never expected.

With Saturn in Pisces, there will be reality checks on that wandering Pisces imagination. Saturn figures out how to put it to work! There will be less wandering aimlessly, confirmation of the realities of dreams, daily visible progress, oceanic trade and environmental laws to be made. They will survey the seas and shores, the importance of millions of miles of shorelines, prevention of pollution – debris and chemicals, assurance of abundant long term ocean harvests. Saturn may find himself on an ocean safari while in Pisces, or gone on the wind taking the computers to the surf zone when the surf’s up, whichever continent that may be on! Working from ‘home’ takes on new meaning! Really! Can be done!

On land, Saturn in Pisces may bring a deluge of cold water and ice, more snow. Or there may be no water at all. Water conservation and collection may be undertaken due to new insights as to the severity of conditions. Saturn will then be sextile Capricorn, his own sign. Capricorn may give successful fundamental oversight in guiding these important projects, reviewing and updating, keeping them on track. He tracks to be sure Pisces’ good intentions are carried out! Cold wet OR hot and dry, building secure shelters will be a necessity. In hot times cooling the land, building cool sustainable homes, and air conditioners, may be vital. There is satisfaction at holding an important piece of life in your hands and doing good by it! Any congratulations are well earned. Saturn in Pisces 

JUPITER, the planet of travel and education, changes signs in the 12 months to come. He’s in Aries NOW! He speeds through all of Aries and May 16 goes into Taurus for the rest of 2023, on into Gemini May 2024! We have only a few more days to finish Aries matters promptly, secure the foundation for Taurus!

The Pisces/Aries shift, last to first zodiacal signs, was a 12 year shift! Jupiter retrograded briefly back into Pisces Oct 27 to Dec 20, 2022. Winter Solstice, the belly of winter, was warmed by Jupiter back in Aries keeping the coals hot. From there we have had numerous seeds of new beginnings, the ‘return of the Light!’ Aries is self motivated, always in motion, looking for action, taking the cause to the forefront! It’s rolling onward in Aries, gaining momentum, no going back! From then on until May 16, 2023 he speeds through the entirety of Aries in less than 5 months, enters Taurus. What a shift that will be, a damper for some, a rest for others, an organic sense of well being! It will heat up education and advocacy for Earth, our home. Some have been waiting so long for the coming significant changes. Once in Taurus, he does retrograde, but stays in Taurus until moving into Gemini May 25, 2024.

Jupiter, Sagittarius’s planet, is looking for purpose with integrity! It takes a core truth and educates as many as will listen to why it is meaningful and worthy. Jupiter has a bold and confident way, expands, embellishes, emphasizes, gives extra! It’s edifying, LOL! Jupiter likes to play and tell whopper stories, laughs big laughs with gusto, has a great big dog and rides the winning horse! In Aries a lot of ground will be traveled, and quickly too! Sparks will fly off his horse’s hooves! Speed is a delight. Records will be made! Skating, surfing, skiing, biking! Wow! The sign lucky Jupiter is in, is the sign that succeeds and prospers, the sign that trainings occur in. Major tours are possible and successful impossible dreams come true! It’s time to push the river a bit while the Gateway is open! Aries is a first responder type healer. 

Jupiter in Aries may at times seem to be a flash in the pan, but you ARE impressed by his speed! Aries always has news, is never boring, willing to take a chance and fight tigers! What learning curve? Things come almost automatically. Show me once and it’s done! It seems as if time itself is speeded up! Racing here and there is exhilarating! Spreading the news keeps everyone ready for the next step! Independence prevails, no sappy romance for them unless you can keep up! First and New are happy words. Get started and go for everything you wanted. Negotiate big! Be careful to not bang your head, get cut, shot, or burned or get infections and fevers. Allow extra time to avoid accidents, no burnout! Stop to breathe now and then, and eat quality food! You are the good person you are; you don’t have to prove it by being an animal, unless you want to, LOL! 

As Jupiter connects with our personal chart factors during its time in Aries, we will feel like time has sped up, can’t do things quickly enough! Impatience! Aries intends to lead us to greener pastures or new and different places, even just to see what we can see! Jupiter teaches new techniques, tells stories of wonder, goes on adventurous travels! In Aries he tells of heroes, survival, self sufficiency, independence! There is a buoyant physicality – dancing while ‘sitting’ in your chair at the office, walking, skating, bike riding, a cross country trip for a cause! Excellent health!

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, the first responders. Initiation means more than taking a title. It means doing your vows. Aries are brave leaders, risk takers, rights fighters. They often have to make instant decisions to save lives. They are fiery Spirits that operate on instant instinct, thank goodness! Consulting is one of their best talents. Listen keenly. Ask your questions right now while they are there with you. They will be gone to the next fire quickly. Staying physically fit is essential and can be totally enjoyable. Prowess feels super! Independence is strong. Ride your bike long distances and fix it yourself! Jupiter in Aries makes and guides the travel machines to even speedier outcomes, winners, is first at the new destination!

Jupiter in Taurus may be slower, but none the less powerful. In a ‘fixed’ sign, he likely holds strong opinions and possibly a wrestling trophy! His bench presses are phenomenal. He has staying power like long distance truckers. Marathons are no problem. He likes money whether on the hoof, cash in pocket or reliably invested, especially in land and minerals. Taurus loves touch, sex, massage, natural beauty, fine scents, good food and common sense. Calm restfulness, centered peace, being grounded and patient are treasured traits. Jupiter in Taurus simplifies, installs and grounds the successful new projects, makes them sustainable, maintains and upgrades them for posterity. In Taurus he organizes vast estates, recovers the lands’ fertility, stockpiles the finest materials for future use. He has one of the strongest, most healthy beautiful bodies around!

As signs change, talents are commingled, the Path between them becoming a usable channel. Jupiter in Pisces, Aries and Taurus will develop their own smooth channels. In Pisces-Aries, it is super aware, sensitive, instantly reactive! Groups of crusaders are attracting and further developing adept leaders, rich with innovative foresight! The beauty of the Aries to Taurus transition is that Aries passes the baton to Taurus for safekeeping! Taurus holds the precious ideas of Aries until they can take root, maintain their own life. When Pluto entered Aquarius, Jupiter was at 17° Aries in a FIVE planets Aries stellium including Sun and Moon, a double Aries Chart! Aries is THE Action sign! That’s what I call a NEW beginning! See the stunning chart!

Portals are all around us.

Some are temporary, some are always there. Some are annual like the August 8 Lion’s Gate. No two are alike, take us different places. Some are one way, others are two way but perhaps only at certain intervals – you have to be there or… Some lifetimes there are none, others have several passages. And there are the portals into and out of life. In astrology these are sign changes and aspects formed between planets. 2023’s big one is Pluto’s 246 year sign change into Aquarius!

 

Jupiter makes three 2023 planetary aspects. All three are once only, no retrograde second and third chances. The first aspect, Jupiter conjunct Chiron, was significantly just days before Pluto shifted into Aquarius. The first was while Jupiter was in Aries. The last two are while Jupiter is in Taurus. The last one is after Pluto returns to review Capricorn, a hugely different context than Aquarius! Jupiter sextiles Saturn, Capricorn’s planet. It is a Soul seeking Taurus/Pisces aspect in a new times reality for Capricorn… 

Jupiter’s remaining two 2023 Aspects, May 16/17 and June 19, are the last aspects of 2023!

2) Jupiter in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius, sextiles Saturn in Pisces. 

May 16/17 Jupiter enters Taurus and immediately makes its first aspect, square Pluto at 0 Taurus/Aquarius! Both on new ground, that will be a tough transition for many, involving major financial matters, extreme weather. Taurus is a powerful sign, both ‘stubborn’ and steadfast. Jupiter is a giant force looking for the power of peace, connection with Earth, the land and soil, its animals, the trees, food for our bodies, Heart and Soul, clean water. Environmental situations are being reviewed, how we travel our sphere. Our land is so important because it leads to the ocean. Values are changing as we have environmental extremes, questions about where to live safely. Jupiter, that has always ruled longevity, is being challenged by a pandemic, by stressful perspectives politically, environmental conditions including water pollution and scarcity. One can no longer be so blithe about the many issues at hand. These powerful real concerns, stress, can indicate more poor health, including mental health, at pandemic levels. The old solution, to move somewhere else, is a lot less viable now that we have, at the end of 2021, 7.9B population. There are no new easy living frontiers, and Jupiter’s adventure travel map to unknowns is dwindling as drought and dangerous areas are increasing. 

Taurus challenges Pluto, the planet of Scorpio, Taurus’s opposite! Taurus likes being rooted and stable, with a secure income. He likes personal ownership, land under his feet he can depend on to be there. Scorpio has powerful connections and deals with money in any form he can! He likes interest, making loans, insurance, mortgages, inheritances, the bigger the amount the better. He can lose everything and make it all back again plus more! Taurus prefers a strong and steadily growing relationship. Scorpio is more willing to take on a mate with special needs, financial, emotional, health related. But if they can merge fortunes that’s terrific! Prenups are more common for them. 

Taurus squares Aquarius. He is Earthy; Aquarius is boundless air! Jupiter thinks everyone needs an education, some perspective, and faith no matter what! Taurus likes well grounded hands on experience. Pluto doesn’t usually like tell-all-Jupiter, but sometimes will plant a leak so what he wants to get out, gets out. Though he appears not to listen, believe me, he wants to know what he’s up against, and now, May 2023, in Aquarius almost 2 months, he’s been waiting for Jupiter’s 2¢ because Jupiter always brings expansive ideas! Newly in AQ, he needs all the help he can get! The potency of squares is sometimes what we need to make us aware of what’s up. If there are losses, scandals, slander, they will be big, in time the Truth will out with shame and blame, possibly financial loss. Yet even if in a challenge or catastrophe, Jupiter usually wants the best for everyone though it may take some doing. In Taurus he doesn’t give up. So, clear the debris, mend the fallout. Off to the races we go! Aquarius stands by, to quickly assess possibilities. There will be some remarkable breakthroughs and revelations due to the shifts! This aspect happens only once. Don’t miss the opportunity for a tune up! Listening to each other will free us to open doors! Ask questions. Check with your astrologer(s) to see if your chart is involved.

Jupiter of Sagittarius and Pluto of Scorpio are pseudo neighbor signs. There is a natural camaraderie. Though neighbor signs are so different, they do know each other. Taurus is Scorpio’s opposite; both are possession and financially oriented, enjoy sex. Scorpio and Taurus both square Aquarius. Though they are all fixed signs, AQ surprises, upsets the status quo, at times to their favor. Hmm… Jupiter and Aquarius love the whole idea of growth and changes, traveling anywhere! If Taurus and Pluto get their finances in order and make even bigger deals, they can do splendidly together if they agree on how, where and what to invest in! Jupiter in Taurus is improving Taurus’s standing already. Pluto in Aquarius will be the 21 year long aspect, so this is just the beginning and needs that reliable seed income to grow. If Pluto can convince them of the long term benefits AQ will bring, differences will be readily overcome. See more Jupiter square Pluto

Jupiter in Taurus and Capricorn will be empowered again when Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn June 11, 2023 through Jan 20, 2024. Taurus and Capricorn are both Earth signs looking for practical common-sense solutions and Pluto’s sign Scorpio sextiles Capricorn! There will be additional opportunities to be researched, put into operation. Not to be missed, that six month window will be short!  See more Jupiter in Taurus  See Pluto in Capricorn

Taurus is delighted with fellow earth sign Capricorn. Capricorn knows Taurus is trustworthy, has common sense, can procure substantial materials, isn’t going anywhere else. At times Taurus may be a little slow compared to brisk Capricorn, and Taurus won’t be rushed or pushed around. Cap frets because of deadlines, but slow sometimes pays off as weak spots are discovered and resolved. Hire some more help if possible. Taurus can calm Capricorn and they become strong friends. Taurus protects his money and at times may loan some to Capricorn when needed. Cap keeps his promises and pays back in a timely fashion. Taurus is strong, has endurance and Capricorn is wiry and nibble, can go forever! They may take to the mountains with grand views! Timbers, stones, mines and minerals and earth moving can be their mediums. Taurus walks the land in all seasons; Capricorn is the architect using Taurus insights for sheltering locations, natural water resources. 

3) June 19, Jupiter in Taurus sextile Saturn in Pisces, is the last aspect of 2023! After that time there are no more sign changes or further aspects! That doesn’t mean YOU won’t have any aspects the rest of the year because the planets are still moving; it’s just that they are not connecting with each other!

Now that the initial challenging square with Pluto has passed, Jupiter will speed up Taurus. Taurus will likely absorb some of Jupiter’s action and translate it to more solid application, actually getting more done. There will be less time for running around, running away. Taurus will be intrigued with some of Jupiter’s thinking and broader perspectives. In Taurus, Jupiter may find a longing to return to the land of his forbears. It is a natural homing instinct for grounding and centering. Ley Lines may take on an unexpected significance. A journey may be made along a path that many have taken. As each Pilgrim travels over the ground, a fraction of their scent is left, an imprint added to all the others of before, compelling the Pilgrim to follow. The content of the scent shifts and the purpose of the destination changes with the times as the content is altered. The collective scent alters the collective consciousness of the most recent travelers. We all are walking through time together.

With Saturn, the Capricorn planet, opportunities will be put to good use and tempered through time. Saturn in Pisces will ‘read’ the Pisces dreamtime and Pisces will lead him through these remarkable channels. He will incorporate the wisdom of Saturn elders on the Path and the infinite Pisces insights to beyond the Jupiter destination! It will be more productive than ever expected!    

Definitely time for more options and opportunities. Jupiter’s manner may be a bit ‘big’ for Taurus’s peaceful style, but the ideas are intriguing. Whether stock or plants, the two can work out what breeds and varieties make sense. Taurus will need to hear and hands on test how the ideas can be implemented. Saturn and Taurus, both earthy, work well together. Taurus grows the food, landscapes. Saturn looks for workable shelter and building locations, builds the greenhouse, backs up with current research and in Pisces, secures the water situation. Business can improve steadily. With Pisces visions and sensitivity, they are guided gently to open up to working intricately together. Jupiter is good at teaching and the whole crew will be on board, especially when the results start coming in. 

Saturn likes Jupiter’s far sighted long term plans, expansive steady financial growth in Taurus. Saturn, like Taurus, is conservative and protective, provides a realistic framework for managing funds, secures or builds structures for homes and business that will last, ie those sustainable tiny homes or ADUs – Accessory Dwelling Units! Pisces and Capricorn’s planet Saturn, water and earth, dreamer and worker, will aspire to building a temple of life and spirit, and it will draw pilgrims from afar. Pisces looks at Soul matters. Jupiter will be the preacher! Saturn is quite happy that Jupiter is an action oriented fire planet, no supervision needed – just keep it interesting so Jupiter doesn’t wander off! Greater meaning makes the work they do important to many more people. It insures a deep connection of Spirit that is as well a blessing to their life work, careers and business, to say nothing of their health. There is great promise. See more

 

Enjoy these powerful intense times! The possibilities are compelling!

The Galactic Center, Fixed Star Algol and Planet Pluto!

All three of these are dark characters! The Galactic Center is a gigantic black hole! Algol has a dark reputation, ie beheadings, when your lights go out. Pluto, ruler of the underworld, is the furthest planet from the Sun, the darkest and frozen to boot!

Fixed star ALGOL and the GC are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. Currently Algol is at 26 Taurus and the GC is 27 Sagittarius. Whenever one is activated, so is the other. Algol and the GC have an oblique off center position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics. They ‘see’ peripheral factors that influence the outcome. Inconjuncts sometimes lead you on a goose chase, but maybe to greener pastures. You do get a greater perspective. Even if you go back home, you are different. You have perhaps made new friends and associates that can carry that sector for you. Excellent adjustments are in the offing. Destination Algol would not usually be a conscious choice, but sometimes it is part of our Path and it just happens. Square your shoulders and do it, eyes wide open. Fascinating encounter.

Algol is the baddest Star according to some! It is a rare triple star, an eclipsing binary, which means it blinks, and changes brightness, even ‘disappears!’ It is the Medusa’s Head, carried in the left hand of the Hero, Perseus. On the dark side, ‘It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens.’ Some say it’s not the ‘bad’ within us but pushing through blockages to the beauty beyond is what really matters. We can face our demons with sincere intent and life changes for the better! See more!  See more about the spiritual side…

Algol’s bad rep, strikes fear in a lot of hearts, but so does the Galactic Center when people find out it is one gigantic black hole!!! You could vanish in an instant! You astral travelers might should be careful? I like to think of Algol as the GC’s Guardian. Algol is considered to be a super powerful feminine force. It would take such an entity to protect the mighty GC! Their off center relationship may take you on the road less followed, so to speak. There is a draw to explore. Algol is ready to stomp her feet and ‘invite’ you to travel, or takes you another place once the GC’s info has been bestowed, a place that needs the information the most. More on the Galactic Center! 

Many give Algol a wide berth, plan carefully astrologically. To be on the safe side, Astrologers often allow 5 degrees for the effective range with Algol while most stars get only 1 degree range. If in neighboring signs, only 3 or less degrees might be used. If you have chart factors in that 5 degree range, one way or another you are connected with Algol. If you have questions, do see your astrologer.

Pluto retrogrades May 1 at 0 AQ 21 and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels. Anytime it is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol. That period started Feb 2020, virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Pluto has been having the Algol experience, and is one of the few who can stand up under this trial. Very luckily, the trine is the most favorable angle, so though not unscathed, he survives. Both Pluto and Algol are respected and incur life and death situations. One hopes the trine bends the relationship with Algol to a more satisfactory outcome. Earth signs, like Capricorn, especially being the last Earth sign, are a bit ‘indelible.’ Their effects are more long lasting. Keep turning the tables on Algol’s bad rep. Stay calm in the face of violence, even your own anger. Shift your connections so better can happen. Know your rights and choose safety unless/even if you are trying to save someone’s life. If you are the offender, get all the help you can to change. Many a fine leader has come from a dark place. See more!

As to that great fierce feminine troublemaker Algol in Taurus, Capricorn is in a favorable working trine. Capricorn is rather invincible himself, gets stronger as he gets older! He too is protective, so has empathy and a very respectful rapport. Capricorn knows power when he sees it, and knows to engage carefully. Algol may find it intriguing that Capricorn may want to renovate some long standing troubles into viable situations. She doesn’t have to scare this one. He has had troubles of his own, and pulled himself up. He is a natural hard worker. Their mutual satisfaction may bring amazing laughter, loosening some of her age old pain and some of his, more recent. There is hope against the odds!

Capricorn is the neighboring sign just beyond Sagittarius, the Galactic Center’s own sign! He has watched the GC’s mighty strides all his life. In fact, some of that huge well of information has always been a part of him. Without much ado, many Capricorns have phenomenal insights and successes. They work and work and work, inspired by what they know can happen. Cap learns early what his boundaries are, and generally doesn’t overstep his position. They really are not to be underestimated. They are masters of their trades, fine mentors. They take strong parental, family and community responsibility. 

♦♦ When Pluto is in Aquarius, some think Pluto will be getting a bit beyond the range considered to have effect for these types of aspects. But. The GC has an enormous range, Aquarius, the sign of the heavens, is by nature resonant to the Galaxy. I would still allow for their connection. Sagittarius is a mighty traveler, no distance too far, and Aquarius is the sign of flight. Easy travels for them and a huge range of knowledge passes between them. That gets shared by Sagittarius stories and teaching, and through the Aquarian electric computer humanitarian networking! There will be fewer strangers on the planet. We will ‘know’ each other, be fellow travelers – Sagittarius and friends – Aquarius. Our hearts and minds will be expanded. Pluto keeps thing clean and clear, heals the deeper schisms that occur in our fears, the deepest dark roots corners that have been in our memories for centuries. A true freedom and unity become possible.  

So, when Pluto is in Aquarius, some will still consider PL to still be trine Algol, called an out-of-sign trine. Aquarius and Taurus are not famously easy together. They are fixed signs, in spite of AQ being the sign of r/evolutionary change! Each has strong opinions, Taurus usually quieter about it; Aquarius making headlines! When they get along, Taurus rules grounding, while AQ rules the heavens, Heaven and Earth! In their own ways each stable, but they sure have different vantage points! Taurus is growing veggies while AQ is out gallivanting in behalf of the planet. Taurus calms Aquarius and supports his sorties. AQ knows there is someone to come home to that accepts him, is patient, sensible, dependable, and AQ trusts. Aquarius keeps Taurus up on the latest and fully spices his life. Geometrically, they are trine, a favorable aspect, so there are differences, but their ‘heavenly’ relationship is to their favor.

AstroLocality!

If your changes during 2023, 24, include moving, you are or will be truly on Jupiter in Aries time through May 16! Jupiter is location; Aries is new! He feels refreshed when on that land. It’s a springboard! Jupiter in Taurus chooses land that makes him feel a connection that feels good under his feet! But with Jupiter in Taurus moves are less likely. A trailer is more likely, a home you can take with you. 

If you already moved, take a look at your AstroLocality map and Relocation Charts to see the meaning of your move and its potentials! If you haven’t picked your location yet, or have but not moved yet, you might change your mind. First, take a look at maps that show areas of conflict, drought, disasters. Conflicts take years of recovery; droughts and disasters take years of remediation. Think in terms of sustainability and a clean water supply. See your AstroLocality astrologer for advices on personal locations best for what and the best timing! Depending on your finances, be cautious about moves during 2023 Mercury and Venus retrograde periods, especially their double retrograde time. If it is a necessity at a retrograde time, know that there will be further changes and factor in the costs that go with that. If you are buying a home as well, top priority may be that it is a good investment per resale value since you may change your mind about keeping it. Renting is recommended until times are more stable. With the Jupiter sign change in May, and the Saturn and Pluto changes in March, a lot of mind changing will be happening. Also, Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn June 11 through Jan 2024.

Particularly note that late summer we are looking at heartful and hardworking Leo/Virgo Venus/Mercury DOUBLE RETROGRADE! The Venus retrograde cycle 12 to 28 Leo starts first, June 19 (the day of the Jupiter sextile Saturn – the last 2023 aspect), finishes Oct 7. It is retrograde July 22 – Sep 3. Mercury starts his cycle Aug 3, finishes Sep 29, 8 to 21 Virgo 49. He is Rx Aug 23 to Sep 15. The DOUBLE RX is at back to school time, off to college, a common time to move, Aug 23 to Sep 3 (Labor Day weekend)! Don’t be surprised if there soon is another housing change… See more, Item 2) at this link!

Returns! Returns are a special time when a planet orbits back to your original birth point. It reminds you of the purity of its purpose in your life. Saturn’s refreshes your outlook on your Dharma, the work of your Soul. Jupiter’s refreshes your gift of how you learn/teach and travel life! If your return is in a degree that will be in retrograde, you will have it three times.

During Taurus’ year, Saturn covers 4 to 15 Pisces. Those of you with your Saturns in those degrees will be having your 28/29 year Saturn Return(s)!

If your Jupiter is 23 Aries, to 21 Taurus, you will have your 11/12 year Jupiter Return(s) in Taurus’ year. 

Lunar patterns 2023-24!

New Moons: 21 and 20 degrees, Sep 14, 2023 to March 10, 2024. April 8, 2024 at 19 degrees.
Full Moons: 4 and 5 degrees, Oct 28, 2023 to April 23, 2024  

Those of you with factors at or within 3 degrees of these will be activated! Set your goals for these periods and approach them progressively from every angle, every sign! Your project will gain volume and wholeness as you go ~ Lay out your plan per sign then expect to update as you grow with it and more possibilities become apparent, available! 

Aries is the Sign that hosted Pluto’s new mission in Aquarius! Taurus will anchor the keeper new beginnings! We will be having an intense year as we get started making significant world changes and personal changes finding our places in this new time! Pluto will be retrograding back into Capricorn to strengthen that foundation. He will bring more of Capricorn’s important worthy work of this last 14 years forward into the new auspice of Aquarius. Cap deserves the recognition. Aquarius is blessed. Thank you to all you Taurus types for holding us steady in these times of super change!

Steady on!

Happy Birthdays, Dear Taurus!

We are all just walking each other home. — Ram Dass has Mercury 4 Taurus sextile Venus 6 Pisces – see his chart.  I think of Taurus’ Mother Earth as Home, taking care of her.

Alan Seale’s interpretation: ‘Ram Dass was talking about coming home inside of ourselves. He was talking about finding our wholeness – knowing who we are at the deepest and most profound levels of our being and building our lives upon that foundation.’ Your interpretation is equally perfect and profound. 

May your Spirit be filled with peace and strength, beauty and kindness!

April 19/20 RARE HYBRID Solar Eclipse, SECOND Aries New Black Moon!

Wednesday April 19, 9:13 P Pacific, 29 Aries 50, Sun in Taurus 1:14 A
In Eastern Zone it is Thursday April 20, 12:13 A, Sun enters Taurus 4:14 A

My gratitude to you all for your victories of every kind, every day! 

4.20.23 NOTE: This may be the 3rd lunar event of ARIES, but it happens in less than 24 hours of Sun’s entry into Taurus. It carries the power at the Taurus threshold, passes the baton in person!

April 19 Pacific, 20th in Eastern time, RARE HYBRID Solar Eclipse, SECOND Aries New Black Moon! Only 3.1% of solar eclipses in the 21st century, are hybrid eclipses, fewer yet in Taurus! Pluto 0 Aquarius!

Here is a brief summary of when it was the 3rd lunar event in Aries:

• FOUR Planets Aries Stellium! Aries Stelliums were common to all three Aries Lunar events with an additional emphasis in Taurus. Emphasis on NEW BEGINNINGS!
• Jupiter, Chiron, then New Moon at 29 Degrees finishes the set on the last day of Aries. The special 29th/anaretic degree has a complex set of possible conditions. As the last degree of a sign, it represents finality, no more can be done, endings, Fate is made, sometimes fatality. It can be celebrations, completion, finally! I like that it has maturity! It often has fear of making mistakes as we start the new sign to come, but also has excited anticipation of going forward into new territory!
• Saturn 4° Pisces
• Venus now in Gemini
• Mercury is in retrograde station at 15 Taurus, retrogrades in Taurus April 21 at 15 Taurus!
• Pluto 0 AQ and Mars 13° Cancer are base and lead planets of the Bowl Chart
• No planets are retrograde and won’t be until Taurus Mercury’s April 21. The first outer planet retrogrades May 1, Beltane! We are free to move forward!
• Pluto made the Aquarian shift March 23

Dear SkyLovers! This is a RARE HYBRID Solar Eclipse! Per NASA: Because Earth’s surface is curved, sometimes an eclipse can shift between annular and total as the Moon’s shadow moves across the globe. This is called a hybrid solar eclipse. Wiki further explains: Totality occurs in a narrow path across the surface of the Earth, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. Hybrid solar eclipses are extremely rare with only 3.1% of solar eclipses in the 21st century, hybrid eclipses.

[Boo hoo. It will not be visible in the US.] Totality for this eclipse will be visible in the North West Cape peninsula and Barrow Island in Western Australia, eastern parts of East Timor, as well as Damar Island and parts of the province of Papua in Indonesia.

It is a hybrid eclipse, with portions of its path near sunrise and sunset as annular. An annular solar eclipse occurs when it is a new moon, and the moon is near or at a lunar node. During this eclipse, the moon is usually far from the earth and is near a point called the moon’s apogee. Time and Date says: An annular solar eclipse happens when the Moon covers the Sun’s center, leaving the Sun’s visible outer edges to form a “ring of fire” or annulus around the Moon. If it is like the image above, it is called a Diamond Ring effect! The first painting of one was by Cosmas Damian Asam: Vision of St. Benedict (1735)!

To me, Eclipses are like an eye to/through the sky! As Moon and Sun are aligned, we have access to both their energies united, a powerful merger whether apart/opposite or conjunct! As we see their Light, we are catapulted beyond them into greater realms as our hearts are drawn to seek their mysteries of both time and space at once. Moon and Sun have meetings twice a month, in every sign of the zodiac through the year, unfolding their knowledge sequentially. Moon is our guardian Mother. Father Sun lights our way as even in the dark he still shines his inspiration! Keep open, give thanks. With Pluto in Aquarius, the sign of the Heavens, we will find these excursions to be more intense and we will be raised up.

What an exciting 2023 Aries Lunar sequence we are having, topped by this rare Eclipse! This is the Third Aries Lunar event, the Second New Moon, a Black Moon, a Solar Eclipse! It is the first New Moon in Pluto in Aquarius, and Pluto starts with this RARE HYBRID Solar Eclipse! This final Aries lunar event has a FOUR planet Aries Stellium! Taurus Mercury is in retrograde station, retrogrades April 21! No outer planets will retrograde until May 1, Beltane!

Aries, with its potent Stelliums, remains the primary sign in all 3 Lunar Charts! Pluto in Aquarius is well launched, we are in the mood for NEW and we’ve got it! Aquarius is not only r/evolutionary, NEW, but ahead of its time! Aquarius is genius thinkers, finding ways through the dark! Pluto is a dark planet, behind the scenes but intense, compulsive and obsessive! By contrast, Aquarius is an air sign, free and unattached, detached. So ironically, Pluto can be obsessed about detachment?! As a healer, he will strive to help people become free in a good way. Pluto can be possessive in relationships, but Aquarius is the sign of humanity, relationships with, by, in behalf of all. Pluto may provide Security to be different yet work side by side, all contributing their own special gifts.

The Aries Four are in the belly of the Bowl Chart. Bowls often have a cluster of planets giving the core nature of the Bowl its purpose for being. Bowls are unique charts. They gather water and food, cradle the children, gather groups of people. They take up collections, money and memories. Sometimes they capture and keep. The Bowl may be empty, but when full they pour forth their blessings. It isn’t always peaceful in a Bowl, but usually a certain amount of tolerance and acceptance is acquired when living that closely. It doesn’t even mean we come to like it, but there is sometimes an unspoken understanding, and love anyway. We get to know each other more deeply. So this Bowl, that by nature protects the inhabitants, contains a LOT of Aries, an independent, a troublemaker! What can we say? They say, but he’s our troublemaker and they protect him, and furthermore, encourage him…to do it well! Independence has its merits. You can be independent together, as a tribe!

Pluto, the base planet, brings his new order in Aquarius to serve them. He takes care of the laggers, inspiring them with long term hopes that keep them going. Mars, the very Aries planet himself, now in Cancer, leads them on with courage in his heart, in behalf of his own and the family of man. An independent planet, Mars of Aries, leads the way, giving his unique gifts of the Bowl as no one else can. He visits homes and businesses, senses their needs, shares the news and new techniques they have learned. He asks for help with what his own people need that he can take home with him. Excellent treaties can be made; everyone prospers.

The influence of the March 11 Jupiter Chiron conjunction is still in the air. We are using our new gifts of healing, continuing to learn in the context of Pluto newly in Aquarius. We are alone together working for greater cause than ever before. Jupiter sees the immediate need to educate the most people ever, especially the Leaders that carry the seeds of times to come.

Venus 10 Gemini is sending blessings to Chiron 16 Aries! He may need them because Mars coming to square him might give him trouble! Meanwhile, Venus has lovely ideas for connections to spread the good word about Chiron’s healings and teachings. She can promote his business and may introduce him to some of her fetching friends! He is watching her, thinking she will be fun to know better and tell her some of his tales he got from Jupiter! Venus picks the most charming and may post them along with some of her artwork on her blog or in the newsletter. Chiron is somewhat precocious, eager in Aries. He’s a little heady with the new turns things are taking. The challenges are worthy of his consideration. Maybe Venus can be his press person or set up a quick campaign for him.

Mars, ruling planet of Aries, is about to square Chiron in Aries! He may call Chiron to task and suggest some updates. He may encourage Chiron to remember Chiron’s leading new premises and treatises on healing and teaching! Some people will need to clear old patterns but use new techniques! Mars in Cancer knows how old cultural ways of our family have held some back. Others are simply afraid of what’s new or suggested by someone they don’t know. Mars offers to go with Chiron to new territories and speak to the women of the community, for their children and families. In Cancer Mars can be more conservative and want proper testing done before he recommends new meds or techniques. Likely he and Chiron will inspire people to help at every location they visit.

Mercury 15 Taurus makes a sniffing distance 2 degree conjunction of Uranus at almost 18 Taurus. Mercury picks up a lot of incredible ideas from the planet of Aquarius, and Mars is about to sextile Uranus! Though Mars is in conservative Cancer, still Mercury and Taurus are logical and practical, Uranus is inventive and up on the research. He’s had a few years in Taurus now, so has experience. Earth changing projects and contracts are in the wind!

Running in the background, adding spice, Chiron and Uranus are in their famous semisextile again! Please see more about this remarkable 13 year aspect. Over the years, Uranus has become more Shamanic in his humanitarian concerns. Chiron is more on the cutting edge, especially now that he is in Aries! He has become more electric and is acquiring a more humanistic range of healing and teaching. He is networking his teaching far and wide.

Taurus Mercury, however, has lost momentum, is in station (an eight day standstill), about to Retrograde the 21st! He has been sextile Mars. Since around April 7 they have been talking of the opportunities. But things have confusingly slowed down. Both of them are a bit grumpy and impatient now as Mercury already slow in Taurus may not even be returning calls. They may have a last talk on or about April 23rd, but then it’s over. They will each be going in different directions. Mars will leave Mercury behind. Their ideas are excellent; hopefully he will carry them forward with Uranus! The potential will be even greater since Uranus has groups of friends working for greater causes! Mars may have whole team working for his ideas! Mercury will retreat, hopefully wishing them well. See more about the Taurus Mercury Retrograde!

Moon and Sun are now at the last degree of Aries. They are finishing Aries. It is a bit sad to leave all this glory behind, a bit scary but exciting to get on new ground. They are at the mature point, taking care of last minute details of their remarkable process welcoming Pluto to Aquarius. They have been developing a system of how to do this, doing their own thing as well as being sensitive to how others meet the same challenge, to Pluto’s own sensitivities. Pluto is a powerful planet in his own right, but all planets and signs have their own vulnerabilities, especially on new territory. Pluto and Aquarius are not exactly ‘compatible,’ so there will be some initial working things out. It’s a 21 year passage, so the sooner the better.

At this last degree, the type of eclipse, they are close to Moon’s North Node, they in Aries, the Node in Taurus. The Nodes have to do with Past and Current times. Some think the nodes are a bit fateful, the South of past life over/under doings, the North how we balance that talent or lack with current opposite skills. The Moon/Sun merger is powerfully at the North Node, the one that needs strengthening! There is an automatic time component of lifetimes involved. Sometimes we sense a need to make amends, or emphasize our current needs, to simply do better. Old talents keep people calling for them, so it is confusing and sometimes we are delayed if we go back to them. No matter how good we may be, our Spirit calls us forward, sooner or later, to new things we aren’t as skilled at, yet want to learn. With the hybrid eclipse, an eclipse that changes forms, it is like a shimmering of light and attention as it changes, shaking us loose to new positions and vantage points. Allow a time for not knowing, reserve judgement, to be able to observe without the interference of our own mind’s preconceived ideas. Just ride the Light!

The Nodes are sextile/trine, favorable aspects with Saturn in Pisces. He/they will sort things out in a very workable fashion with Soul satisfaction. Dreams of good to come are stronger than past fears of things that haunt us from long ago. It’s time to shake the crust loose, drop the burden. Saturn is awesome in Pisces! He watches the swirls in the dreamtime, the daily stream of consciousness. His ability to harness the powers that be, the dharma of each person, all of us together, is uncanny. Our fate may be of well being, every day building strong Spirit for profound causes. There are setbacks, the worst may be addictions, but compassion comes. Sometimes for ourselves, sometimes for others, we come to understand the links between us more deeply. Time is literally a tool that carries us along our lifetimes, this one, ones before, ones to come. At alone times we are free to be ourselves, to discover on our own terms, integrate at our own pace. Treasure this precious sacred space.

Mother Moon is the first to venture forth, to greet Pluto in his new sign. Her instincts may warn her to give a little room at first. Pluto by nature likes his privacy, and Moon in Aries can be pushy and nosy, even, maybe especially, in her caring. Good thing she’s fast on her feet and can back up quickly if needed. Sun in Aries doesn’t need the details, but he would like Pluto to be for them. He has courage, is not afraid of bullies. Truth told, he’s been one himself from time to time. He understands. Pluto may put Sun on some of the toughest tasks that require a quick response. Instant ChangeMaker Aquarius knows like Souls when he sees them. Moon will insist on feeding Pluto better quality food, secure shelter even when they are on the move. Sun will point out places needing significant change the most and how to divvy up the work force, putting people with applicable and compatible skills together. Moon knows the history, both culturally and recent conditions, has helpful pros and cons. They are all excited to work together.

All this is essential, because, Moon and Sun will start squaring Pluto in minutes, as they go into Taurus!!! The Full Moon is 9:13 PM Pacific time the 19th. Moon enters Taurus 9:30 PM, squares Pluto 10:04 PM, only 51 minutes after the Full Moon! Sun enters Taurus 1:14 AM the 20th Pacific, squares Pluto 9:27 AM Pacific. Things are moving fast and changing dramatically!

Moon probably senses the urgency while she is still in Aries. Their combination from Aries is brief and last minute, no time to lose. Sun has a bit more time, but while he’s still in Aries, Mother Moon has left him and facing Pluto on her own. At least Pluto is ‘forewarned.’ At 0°, he may be a bit shocked, though doesn’t show it. Moon in Taurus may disagree, but can be ‘stubborn’ and hold her ground, but she is certainly quieter about it than when she was in Aries. She may quiet Aries a bit, but Aries saw no reason to surrender his/her position either! Pluto may not quite know what to do. This is the start of only his second round of Moon through the signs and he’s been in Capricorn a long time. This new platform is just not the same! In Capricorn he was used to her shenanigans, but now, she seems really fast and has his head spinning. In time he may be happier with her because Aquarius was born for change. But for now, give him some time. Or, who knows?! Maybe he has been champing at the bit and is SO ready for these changes, LOL!

Moon has already breached Pluto’s stronghold, and Sun is right behind her. He may bring some light to matters, but certainly has more staying power. Taurus has always been the sign opposite Pluto’s sign Scorpio. They are not exactly strangers. Taurus knows he can out wait Pluto. Pluto knows he can threaten money problems or interfere with Taurus relationships. They both know that can be costly in time and money, so have figured out ways to talk with each other. That will come in handy now. They can help each other. Taurus can calm Pluto. He can steady down Aquarius, because he has seen the Aquarian planet Uranus in Taurus for several years now. Pluto too has seen the changes Uranus has made in Taurus and may decide those new openings will be fine and he and Taurus could do quite well together now with a little adjusting. It’s important now not to make quick judgments, but to see what can be done. Make proposals and give them time to be sorted out in their new contexts.

My gratitude to you for all your victories of every kind, every day! 

RARE HYBRID Solar Eclipse, 2nd Aries New Black Moon Astrology Chart! 

Updated 4.18.23

For your viewing pleasure! In 2023, the best time to see earthshine, also known as Da Vinci glow, is a few days before and after the New Moons on April 20 and May 19! If you missed April, try this one coming up!

Join this team to discuss ideas, strategies, and projects relevant to Indigenous Education, revitalization of Indigenous STEM, and community-based work at the intersection of art-science-and culture. Led by Annette S. Lee since 2007, Native Skywatchers has been working for equity in education, social transformation, and wellness for the past 15 years… building community around Indigenous Sky and Earth Knowledge.

May 1, May Day, and Cinco de Mayo both have a taste of Spring in their hearts! Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican Heritage Day, celebrated in Mexico and throughout the US, especially in Los Angeles! This year it is on the Full Flower Moon! Dance, celebrate your freedom, feast, and enjoy!

.

The 2nd Eclipse of 2023 has changed flavors entirely! The April 19 Rare Hybrid Solar Eclipse New Moon was fiery very Aries! This Lunar Eclipse is a wings wide open Scorpio-Taurus Full Flower Moon! From fire to flowers, from totally out front to secrets and time to smell the flowers. From fast to slo mo, observing and taking your time. Aries operates on instant instinct. Taurus/Scorpio won’t be rushed. Period.

.

In our US time, 10:34 AM Pacific, it is a daytime eclipse and we won’t see it here. It will sweep across Asia and Australia. Though we won’t see the eclipse, Moon and Sun are still lined up! They aren’t exactly lined up. Moon is in the Penumbra, the shadow of Earth. Shadows are right up Scorpio’s ally. There is a sense of presence, but a degree of invisibility as well. Scorpio functions well privately, and has secrets to protect. You might get his scent and still not be sure he is there.

The nature of Full Moons is a broadening of perspective between the two signs, in this case Moon in Scorpio, Sun in Taurus. There is always a revelation factor when factors are opposite, wings spread wide open. There is expansion and some vulnerability too. Through being maximum distance apart, there is a clarity that can’t be read when they are closer. For some the separation is safer. For others, separation is loss. For yet others it is restful, with potential to collaborate beneficial options across the table of negotiation, each side contributing their valuable part. Scorpio Moon may bring in her corporation or nonprofit while Taurus Sun contributes steady production, a reliable experienced work force. Mother Moon may make sure your psyche is in good working order as Father Sun tunes up your body. There are many possibilities.

Intense Moon in Scorpio stands alone from the other planets, the ‘handle’ of the Bucket chart. She is in a water sign, closing the gap on her trine to Mars in fellow water sign Cancer. Mars is the lead planet of the group behind Moon. Moon is closer to Pluto in Aquarius, Pluto Scorpio’s planet. They are not yet connected by degree, but they are aware of each other’s presence.

Pluto is the base planet of the group separate from Moon. He has been merely taking a peek into Aquarius as his first venture in his new sign. He has already retrograded as of May 1, Beltane, at 0 AQ 21, that’s less than half a degree into AQ! He is returning to Capricorn June 11 just a tad over a month from now. He carries the seeds of AQ with him, goes back to Capricorn to review, update in context of Aquarian findings, and brings the appropriate Cap benefits forward into AQ now that he knows more about Aquarius. This is an important cross sign retrograde.

As base planet, Pluto makes sure all are connected and collected moving forward, motivating, reminding each how important the humanitarian/planetary work is. He heals the stragglers and checks their electrical synapses. Since he is retrograde, he goes even further back than usual to find the ones who got lost or distracted by the marvels of their new sign. Mars motivates at the front, braves the Cancerian Mothers of the world, penetrates past old cultural throwbacks. He makes us aware how important it is to make good safe futures for our children and how to get them there safely!

Moon’s job is to gather all that the group has to share and roll it out where it will be well placed for success. Her concurrent job is to sweep the environment for useful information and connections to take back to the group. Scorpio Moon makes terrific deals, confidentially heals wherever she goes, is a good ninja and in return may get much more than many others could.

Her opposite, Taurus Sun is well pleased. He has a sixth sense for enduring and sensible values, knows exactly the natural place they will fit. Soon Moon’s gifts will be consumed and incorporated. Sun is with the Aquarian planet Uranus, so Sun will go for far reaching more long term than average solutions and advocate in their behalf. Many partners could be brought together solving planetary conditions with their cutting edge team. Sun is also sextile the lead planet Mars! What Moon brings, Sun will automatically receive first by their being in exact degrees with each other. He will pass that on to Uranus fully by May 9 since they are next to each other, then gradually to Mars as the sextile continues. However, the transfer may not be fully completed since they both change signs before the sextile is exact May 21!

Nevertheless, seeing the phenomenal results, Moon is well pleased too. She’s opposite Uranus at 5:13 PM Pacific the same day, so is quite aware of the coming changes that need funding alliances as well. She knows what to do and who to contact.

Running in the background, adding spice, Chiron and Uranus are in their famous semisextile again! Please see more about this remarkable 13 year aspect. Over the years, Uranus has become more Shamanic in his humanitarian concerns. Chiron is more on the cutting edge, especially now that he is in Aries! He has become more electric and is acquiring a more humanistic range of healing and teaching. He is networking his teaching far and wide.

With Mercury Retrograde and Moon’s North Node, who generally travels Rx, there is further Taurus emphasis. Mercury Rx is turning the soil of Taurus, changing directions, plowing some things under, revealing others. Drives a Taurus nuts. They like their life to be steady. Taurus has to do with money, love, long standing values, food, our appearance, our bodies, the land we claim – our homestead. We need to be at peace so we can do our best work. One at a time, take care of these necessities. See more about Mercury Rx!

May 14 Mercury retrogrades back to 5 Taurus, in a less than a degree station (for 8 days) with the North Node. The North Node takes 19 years to circle the Zodiac. The South Node is thought to represent things we over or under did in past times/lives. The North is where we need to step up to the plate, get out of our comfort zone, make a better balance in our lives. We have talents at the South, but at a cost if out of balance. Address them squarely, sensibly. Life will be better.

Mercury will also station less than a degree sextile with Saturn when he is at 6 Pisces! Saturn is bedrock; Pisces can make whimsical/spiritually intelligent changes of enormous proportion in moments! Mercury in Taurus doesn’t usually move as quickly, but when they do make up their mind, just get out of the Bull’s way! Taurus likes Saturn, the practical Earth planet of Capricorn. Capricorn is a superb builder, and crackerjack realtor, so things could go super quickly. In Pisces he follows his instincts and the timing is perfect! They are sextile, an aspect of opportunity. Even though Mercury is currently retrograde, they are making careful preparatory forays into what they will do. They may decide to take action a few days after Mercury goes forward. The 18th might work quite well.

Venus and Mars are making reverse aspects:
Venus was square Neptune; Mars is trine Neptune! Venus sextiles Jupiter, Mars squares!

Venus in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces isn’t sure what she wants. She wants it all; she wants nothing. She loves data, but Neptune doesn’t care. He goes straight for what his intuition tells him. Venus gets glimpses of this in action. She’s fascinated and may try to harness the information, but it shimmers and is lost in a fraction of a moment, or she grabs it quickly and starts to build a fantastic file! She knows facts are good, but so is the spiritual connection with our soul! There are many voices and ways to the Center. Venus sings, speaks a couple languages, sometimes interprets. The Soul is invisible, so it may be harder to sing the Neptune messages… But Neptune is the Music Magician, and it is an invaluable gift to be able to translate the dreams and visions, insights, wisdom. Sometimes it’s best to give up, but Venus doesn’t want to. There can be a charm too sweet to miss.

Mars trine Neptune! Venus knows what she loves and wants; Mars knows what to do. In Cancer, he is like a Mom in action taking care of the kids! He’s in a water sign with mortal matriarchal memories, like Neptune with his Soul memories, so has an easier channel to the old Master Neptune than Venus does. Mars knows how to gently prod and request, or insist because he needs it right away to help someone! Pisces was born to help. Venus may look like she’s all in her head, just wants it for herself and that can put him off. Venus must go in true from her heart with love. Between Mars and Venus, they may get the favor. Mars would be willing to fight for Neptune’s cause.

Venus’s plus is she is sextile lucky Jupiter in Aries! She’s interested in education and Jupiter is leading the way with extraordinary perspectives gathered from around the world. People are making new plans right and left! Though things are happening quickly, there is a lot of trust. Venus is spreading the good word just as fast as she can! Neptune may be more impressed by this than anything else Venus tells him. He’s an old one, and loves a good yarn. This one promises grand potential in short time and is right on schedule with Pluto’s shift into world changing Aquarius!

Mars is square Jupiter. Venus can help him with this one! Mars may seriously disagree with Jupiter’s opinions and vice versa. It’s not that things need doing, but the timing and how it’s done and why. Jupiter is in Mars’ sign Aries, so they can tangle. Mars in Cancer always feels like the defender of women and children so is righteous in his cause. Jupiter is bigger, and may have some good points, sometimes thinks religion is his right reason. Each will do better if they can take turns and just listen with no comments then come back soon for another session. Mars and Aries both want what they want right now! It’s going to take some careful dancing… Each is going to have to adjust a bit. Maybe Venus could be mediator.

Along with Jupiter, Chiron is also in Aries. Moon is coming along to inconjunct him, probably siphon off some heat and also get a shot of inspiration! Chiron is an old Shaman and Scorpio is a Shaman of his own kind, but not so old. Chiron was the leader of the Centaurs, got in trouble and the Gods were not happy, gave him an incurable wound. Scorpio was not around then and is famous for his love of danger, and miraculous healing when in accidents. Mama Moon is more cautious if she has family. If not, she has instincts that often get her through scary circumstances unscathed. Scorpio often functions behind the scenes. In contrast, Chiron became a famous medicine teacher. He taught Aesculapius the art of healing, which became the source of all divine medical knowledge among the Greeks and Romans! Moon will be healing Chiron; Chiron will be healing and teaching Moon how to teach.

March 23, 2023 Pluto entered Aquarius, a 246 year event! Now through 2044, 21 years, there will be significant world changes. Please continue to strengthen our Aquarian and Uranian people, those factors in our own charts! 

Exchanges of wisdoms are a divine gift among us! Keep them flowing.

May 19 Taurus New Black Moon!

Friday May 19, 8:53 AM Pacific at 28 Taurus 25

Grounding, seeking change and giving leadership are perfect for these new times! Steady on!

For your viewing pleasure! In 2023, the best time to see earthshine, also known as the Da Vinci glow, is a few days before and after the New Moons on April 20 and May 19! If you missed April, try this one coming up!

Another definition of a black moon says that it is the third new moon in a season of four new moons, according to Space.com. This is a black moon by that definition!

Mercury Direct Mother’s Day, Jupiter in Taurus, 4 and 5 planet stelliums, square with Pluto retrograde, New Black Moon! Things are moving right along!

• May 14, Mother’s Day, Mercury Direct/forward in Taurus, gaining speed
• Jupiter entered Taurus May 16 at 10:20 AM Pacific making a four planet stellium in Taurus, including Mercury, still in station, and Uranus and Sun!
• May 17 Mother Moon joins them at 5:28 AM making it a FIVE planet Taurus Stellium! Jupiter immediately squares PLUTO at 6:11 PM Pacific! This is significant because PLUTO entered Aquarius March 23 and is still at 0 degree, newly to its post!
• Our New Black Moon, Jupiter’s first lunar event in Taurus, is in late Taurus, 28°, May 19 at 8:53 AM Pacific! We are brought to solidarity and new beginnings as the Lights merge and join forces in behalf of simple solutions to long standing personal and planetary matters. Taurus is a calming influence, helps us stand still, observe, have patience and let the blessings come. When necessary there is a mighty charge!

Jupiter is on an 11-12 year cycle and in the sign Taurus will have plenty of push, won’t be ignored. Right away he will seek for Pluto to stand true to his new humanitarian potential, financial matters of all kinds, climate and sustainability. Pluto has a lot on his plate involving billions of people, from the most isolated indigenous to the most sophisticated computer intellects, financiers. Jupiter may be ready to lend a supportive shoulder. He’s letting Pluto know where he stands.

Mother Moon in Taurus is food provider, farmer, and her cows provide milk for our families and children. Father Sun warms the fertile soil of spring for plants to get their best starts, for super summer production. This basic element alone is 100% significant to peace, to feed our souls and keep us on an even keel, thinking clearly. This is the only New Moon of the whole year like this. Gratitude. In return, we need to improve earth functions like water distribution, insure clean water. Appreciation is another word we need to use more about Earth’s trees, animals, birds, stones, our water.

This Bowl Chart is cleanly defined by the base and lead planets! Pluto is base planet, retrograde at 0 Aquarius 17. Pluto, the base planet, brings his new order in Aquarius to serve them. He takes care of the laggers, inspiring them with long term hopes that keep them going. Retrograde, and on a new path in Aquarius, he goes further back to retrieve any lost along the way. Pluto is excellent at cleanup and recycling – leave no trace, leave it better than when you arrived! Pluto is the silent ninja, fights with money, is the therapist behind the scenes who fights for your life!

Pluto has been merely taking a peek into Aquarius as his first venture in his new sign. He has already retrograded as of May 1, Beltane, at 0 AQ 21, that’s less than half a degree into AQ! He returns to Capricorn June 11, less than a month from now. He carries the seeds of AQ with him, goes back to Capricorn to review, update in context of Aquarian findings, and bring the appropriate Cap benefits forward into AQ now that he knows more about Aquarius. This is an important cross sign retrograde.

The lead planet is Mars, a leadership planet, is opposite Pluto, proactive at 29 Cancer 26! Cancer fiercely protects her home/land, women and children. Mars is the courageous front line soldier taking up the immediate causes of necessity for the underdogs and in Cancer, especially the women and children! Mars leads them on with courage in his heart, in behalf of his own and the family of man. An independent planet, Mars of Aries, leads the way, giving his unique gifts of the Bowl as no one else can. He visits homes and businesses, senses their needs, shares the news and new techniques they have learned. He asks for help with what his own people need that he can take home with him. Excellent treaties can be made; new businesses started, Pluto may offer funding. Everyone prospers.

The combination of Jupiter square Pluto at 0 degrees, plus Mars opposite Pluto and Mars square Jupiter, is called a T Square. Since Mars is at 29°, the anaretic degree, it hasn’t made its sign change, it’s called an out of sign T Square. Jupiter in Taurus would usually be sextile Mars’ sign Cancer, but they are 89 degrees (square) in the sky, a challenging angle. Mars and Jupiter are both fire planets so both want action, but in Taurus at a slower pace avoiding losing time by mistakes, breakdowns/repairs. In Cancer, more conservative, being more careful so there is no unnecessary jeopardy to community, homes or people. They surely may have some differences of opinion, but for the good of all, may put their hearts into exploration and resolution modes.

The special 29th/anaretic degree has a complex set of possible conditions. As the last degree of a sign, it represents finality, no more can be done, endings, Fate is made, sometimes fatality. It can be celebrations, completion, finally! I like that it has maturity! It often has fear of making mistakes as we start the new sign to come, but also excited anticipation of going forward into new territory!

The opposition between our base and lead planets is in some ways more compatible than at first glance. Pluto and Mars are both fighters, true. They may fight with each other as well as for or with their people. But Pluto in Aquarius is mindful he fights for all. Mars fights for his homies in Cancer. Fighting amongst ourselves, feuds and rivalry, are costly and waste time that could be applied to greater goals. Mars, at the mature anaretic 29th degree, is quick to see what can be changed; Aquarius IS the change maker sign! Pluto and Cancer may carry on, a little grumbly yet, but as they see what works well they let go and get on with things! We are so blessed to have advocates like Mars and Aquarius for us!

Also, Sun and Moon, the New Moon in Taurus, are just about to make terrific sextiles with Mars! Moon is the ruler of Mars’ sign Cancer. She is community minded, there is great rapport and she offers steady support – useful natural simple ideas are passed along to Mars. Sun, another fire planet like Mars, is cheering Mars on in his proposals. Taurus has common sense; Sun lights the way, introduces Mars to fellow advocates! Mars’ leadership is well favored.

Venus is also in Cancer and Taurus is one of her signs. She sees they are all on a good track. She wants to add comfortability and touches of class and beauty. She offers to be a go between, assesses the values at stake, if a raise of value is likely. She’s a blessed business woman catering to household and personal needs. Lovely adornments, clothing and cosmetics, art for your home, old fashioned furniture come her way. She may have the best neighborhood shop with a sweets and coffee bar for morning treats with a side of hugs!

Since Mercury is in Taurus sextile Saturn in Pisces, ocean side real estate may be in the works. Mercury, steady and sensible in Taurus, is quick to see intrinsic value, not just the money, but the spiritual/magical qualities of a property, or person, for that matter. He is genius at making solid connections that last, good clients that say with you for years. The special time he takes with them means a lot. Mercury is moving forward now, gaining speed, ready for more!

Chiron and Uranus are still tracking each other in their famous semisextile again! Please see more about this remarkable 13 year aspect. Over the years, Uranus has become more Shamanic in his humanitarian concerns. Chiron is more on the cutting edge, especially now that he is in Aries! He has become more electric and is acquiring a more humanistic range of healing and teaching. He is networking his teaching far and wide.

Grounding, seeking change and giving leadership are perfect for these new times! Steady on!

5° to 15° Earthy Taurus MERCURY RETROGRADE 2023!

Myles Dannhausen Jr. says ‘While the design of the final stretch of Highway 42 from Charlie’s Smokehouse in Gills Rock to the Washington Island Ferry Dock might annoy those hurrying to catch the boat, those not in a rush often stop to take pictures or just enjoy Door County’s [Wisconsin] beauty from their car. They’re supposed to.’ It was designed on purpose to make people notice their surroundings more and enjoy the ride. Some say it may have been done just to preserve some good trees. Superb photo by Heather Harle Frykman

In any season, sun or shade, Retrograde can be a beautiful journey! In this earthy Taurus Mercury Retrograde I hope you slow down, breathe, and savor the different vantage points of each shift in your passage.

See the complete 2023 Taurus Mercury Retrograde Timeline 

2023 Started with a double retrograde, Mercury and Mars. August/September Venus and Mercury do a double retrograde – Virgo Mercury’s entire RX cycle happens during the longer Leo Venus RX cycle! All the 2023 Mercury RXs are in earth signs simplicity, practicality and daily living. Three stations, when planets turn retrograde or direct/forward, are at 8 degrees. Jan 18 was 8 Capricorn as will the Dec 12 one. The 8 Virgo one Sep 15 will trine both of them! Stations are important because, if Mercury, he hovers for 8 days at the same degree! There is time to focus, take it in, think it over, anchor the good stuff.

This retrograde is the first in Pluto in Aquarius, a 246 year sign shift that proceeds for 21 years, until 2044! Humble Taurus Mercury Retrograde will be doing his duty symbolically aerating the soil, stirring up the Earth to receive Pluto’s seeds, for Aquarius to make r/evolutionary changes, especially those related to climate. We will have food shifts, pay better attention to our bodies, attractiveness. Better management for drought/fire, clean water, flood prevention/water saving, snow will be on our minds. We will change our living place choices, in favor of using less, sustainability. Taurus is expert at sensible simplicity. Jupiter entering Taurus May 16 during this retrograde cycle amplifies Taurus perspectives! For now, Mercury, a small planet, leads the way.

Our Taurus Mercury Retrograde Cycle is from 5 Taurus April 7 to 15 Taurus May 31. The retrograde period is April 21 to May 14, Mother’s Day! The Cycle has 3 parts. The first is covering the ground until Mercury turns back, retrograde. When it is going back over the same degrees is the retrograde time. When Mercury turns forward/direct, brings the third part of the cycle. It crosses the same degrees the third time, finishes up, perfects the matters considered.   

This springtime Taurus Mercury is perfect for gardeners! The ground is warm enough, the soil workable, a lot of plants will grow readily! One of the prime techniques of planting is to plant successively, to keep a plentiful table supply of fresh food. Plant every week or two to keep them coming. Do the tending- watering, weeding, prevent pests and diseases. Do the same in your life, LOL, no pests, keep connection with the good people in your life, keep growing! Leave no one behind! Go back and get them.

Mercury in Taurus grounds our thinking, gives clever common sense solutions. Mercury here can sooth us to accepting the time it takes, give us kindly patience. Mercury’s touch healing, massage, laying on of hands, can do more than medicine to revive our health and spirits. With yoga and massage, acupuncture, our body relaxes so energy released can flow. Mercury is our lungs, the breath of life. Breathe life into those spots. Mercury in Taurus gives constant good tending and is a strong Earth mover. Taurus grows delicious organic foods, exceptional flowers, mighty healthy trees. Hugs are free and healing happens!

For many this year, there will be necessary remediation after climate events, snows, droughts, floods. Get good advice from permaculturists for better ways to reestablish livestock, soil, water distribution for clean water, saving water, safe and sustainable housing. Select different varieties of plants that withstand drought, heat, cold, being flooded. Choose locations, change locations, build more wisely. For example, atmospheric rivers are expected to be more intense and more often. If you do the same as you did before, you may lose it even more quickly next time. Renovate is no longer the word. Remediate.

Our Spring Taurus Mercury Retrograde is at a quite eventful time! It is acting both as a steady anchor in Taurus, and as a facilitator as he is making changes himself to accommodate the many other concurrent changes.  

1. Pluto has already gone into Aquarius March 23! Aquarius is the evolutionist ChangeMaker, opening new gateways to astonishing possibilities! April 5’s Libra/Aries Full Pink Moon Super Conjunction and Easter April 9 herald new beginnings and relationships. The Mercury RX Cycle starts April 7 at 5 TA 50, coming right up! At the Full Moon, Mercury is sextile Mars, the Aries Planet, now in the sign Cancer. Mercury lends support to Mars’ causes, new beginnings for feminine efforts, children, safe housing. Mars works for good food, is a guardian in emergencies, encourages when people feel alone, inspires. Mercury is helping simplify processes, comfort and make us feel safe, build self esteem, keep an easy pace. He is with the Moon’s North Node, working on building new outcomes, to stabilize the gains.

2. April 19/20 RARE HYBRID Solar Eclipse at Second Aries New Moon, Sun into Taurus 4-20! Mercury in station RXs April 21 at 15 TA 37. Earth Day is 4-22! Uncommon insights will be flourishing! Mercury is conjunct genius Uranus, connecting people who are making change with groups who will help them make further change, linking them one step to the next. Uranus is the planet of Aquarius the Awakener, Pluto’s new sign. Eclipses, perfect planetary lineups, allow direct access to passage and Pluto in heavenly Aquarius, fearlessly goes further than anyone before! The RARE HYBRID Eclipse is unique in that it changes forms during the eclipse! Only 3.1% of solar eclipses in the 21st century, are hybrid eclipses. Mercury is standing still, in in his eight day station, focusing, keenly observing. Being the quicksilver planet, making lightning changes while he stands, he is quick to see the shifts and keep connections current. The SECOND New Moon, at the last and final degree of Aries, is building on the first, upping our chances of successfully stepping over that threshold onto new ground! We can do it! We are doing it! It is inevitable.

3. Mercury Directs (goes forward) May 14, Mother’s Day at 5 TA 50! May 16 Jupiter enters Taurus, squares Pluto at 0 Aquarius the 17th! That will be a super boost forward, but a big challenge too! Friday the 19th, is a 28° Taurus Black New Moon, the 3rd in a season of four new Moons! Moving forward gets Mercury going again – Moms and all the rest of us will like that! Jupiter’s shift to Taurus may slow Jupiter down and that may be a blessing. Time to breathe and catch up. But Taurus will be speeded up! It may take a little adjusting. First it was unpredictable Uranus, a wild card planet in Taurus, so Taurus has already been ‘speeded up,’ now it’s Jupiter too, both a groan and a delight, LOL! Tauruses may not want to be faster, but they will be, and get used to it in its year in their sign. We may not like the financial situation that has been brewing, but it needed sorting anyway. Pluto will get the ‘trash’ out of the way so you can get to the bottom of things, not be blocked in your efforts. It’s time. Don’t put it off. You will get more done sooner. You will be glad when it is done. It may not have been easy, but proves to be worth the effort. After this aspect is over, Mercury going forward will be gaining momentum and final changes readily made. The final touches will give it its dignity and authority of place.

4. Memorial Day is May 29. Mercury finishes the complete cycle May 31 at 15 TA 37. Each retrograde is different. Not everyone’s chart is activated. Take a deep sigh, congratulate yourself if you have been dealing with important matters throughout this period. Taurus rules personal monies, your body, things that require determination no matter the setback or adjustment. Many memories may strengthen you, help you find your place and step forward from the past.

Important Retrograde Direct Stations!

When planets retrograde or direct (go forward), they have a ‘pause’ period when they appear from Earth to have no motion. With Mercury it is an 8 day period, 4 days before, 4 days after. You can measure it by degree if you wish, 1 degree, 2 degrees, 3, but 1 degree range is most common. Since Mercury or the planet is at that degree so many days, it has potency, first of anticipation, being in focus in the degree for days at a time, then of understanding the necessities of changing direction and being in the new direction.

Outer planets, on their much longer timeframe, retrograde each year for months, often half a year! With planets like Pluto and Neptune, that move only 3 degrees a year, stations are almost a moot point. The stations are so long, usually there is no real pinpointing an ‘event.’ It is more a continual daily process. It would be more like ‘that was the year I…..’ or ‘those were the yearS I…..’ An aspect with an outer planet, allowing a 5 degree range, would take a minimum of a year, and often as much as 3 years! A retrograde cycle would be the same. Many outer planet retrogrades activate a factor in your chart 5 times, not just the 3 times only of inner planets.

If the planet is slowing to retrograde, fire and air signs may feel sluggish, not their usual free and easy selves, be a bit grumpy, feel they are losing time. Retrogrades, going over the same ground (degrees) again, can wear on them. However, they are a curious lot, even then. If there have been mistakes or upgrades discovered, thank goodness! They are glad to repair or fix, and be the best again!

With retrogrades Earth and water signs are generally comparatively more easy going. Earth signs don’t like being rushed anyway, and can be patient and practical. However Virgo and Capricorn can be pretty demanding and hate their work routines to be interfered with. Water is infinitely flexible, by nature more accommodating, go with the flow. But busy, let me help you, crabby Mama Cancer doesn’t have time for this. Scorpio may seethe a bit at added costs, interference with his privacy.

If a planet is slowing to go direct, it can be the crazy ultimate bottom of the barrel time, having gone that far back in the degrees. You just want this to be over. Yet, the end is so near, the planet about to turn direction forward! Yet there is still that pause. There is a deep consideration of the root of what has been part of what all has happened. There is a vow to never again……… There is an acceptance and recapitulation. What are those 5 steps? Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. We kinda go through this process sometimes during a retrograde.

It is important to know that all retrogrades do definitely NOT affect everyone! Only those who have factors in their charts in the same degrees as the retrograde are connected. If in a compatible sign, things may go smoothly for some factors in your chart, but not be compatible for other factors. So one retrograde may have multiple results for one person. The station degrees are especially potent because of their duration. Things can go well or not for days! It may take days to find a problem or its fix, or to set up a favorable new project. We can be grateful to have the time to do it.

Each retrograde station shift brings a different vantage point, reveals a whole new perspective. Sometimes you expect it, other times you are shocked, pleasantly or not, at the new context. If you are a backcountry hiker you learn to look back to get the view going the other way – it’s totally different than the view ahead. It could save your life to know the way back! This is a form of ‘retrograde’ you plan for. You might try the same technique in your everyday life. Take timely looks back over your shoulder. What caused you to come to be where you are now? How can you get back to a good place, or to where the problem started?

Check with your astrologer to see how this year’s retrogrades do or don’t activate your chart factors!

Emphasis by Situational factors, Repeat aspects, to Your chart factors!

When Mercury retrograde makes or an aspect is made to Mercury during a retrograde cycle repeatedly, they additionally speak to the purpose of the retrograde, emphasizing their special interactions.

This Taurus Mercury Rx Cycle there are no repeat aspects in all three parts of the Cycle.

The emphasis of this retrograde is how it is situated among the surrounding transits. The start of the cycle is at the Libra/Aries Full Moon Super Conjunction! The retrograde is at the RARE HYBRID Solar Eclipse, SECOND Aries New Moon! Mercury Directs at Jupiter into Taurus,  square Pluto at 0 Aquarius followed by a Taurus Black New Moon!

There is a Lunar emphasis with two of the Cycle’s points being at strong lunar events. The other important factor is Jupiter’s shift into Taurus, the sign of the retrograde! Mercury is plowing the Taurus fields, making them more rich, turning up treasures, to be available for, to enrich communications for Jupiter’s arrival in Taurus! Taurus will be primed because Mercury will have things to say to Taurus, tell Taurus about Jupiter coming, what the possibilities may be. The sign Jupiter is in, is the lucky sign at that time, and it is Taurus’ turn! Jupiter in Taurus is key to Pluto’s success in his arrival into Aquarius. Jupiter enhances Taurus patience, sensibleness, grounding. Jupiter has big ideas for our planet and wants to roll with r/evolutionary Aquarius to make the changes with Pluto’s partners and their financial guidance! Getting going right at the beginning gives the most time for the long term changes in the wind!

The third emphasis possibilities are how the retrograde connects, or not, with YOUR chart factors! Since so many planetary connections dovetail so amazingly with the retrograde sequence, I recommend you check with your astrologer right away for your part to play! Could mean enhancing some important life events for you!

ALL ABOUT RETROGRADES! Some of you are old hands. Others have never heard of Retrograde before. New lingo: Retrograde, Direct, Station and more…

Retrogrades are fascinatingly complex! The wild dynamics of retrograde cycles are, as viewed from Earth, it happens when a faster planet passes a slower planet. Mercury is faster than Earth, while Earth is slower than Mars. The planet appears to go forward, backward, then forward over the same ground three times, and if outer planets, sometimes five times in two years! Of course that doesn’t happen in reality. It is visual because of the perspective from Earth. During that time, all the other planets are moving too, so even when a retrograde planet is going ‘backward’ over the same degrees, they are ALL going forward, even the retrograde planet! It’s ‘illogical,’ but that’s what happens.

Venus retrogrades about every 19 months for only about 40 days. Only 7–8% of the population has it in their natal chart. Mercury retrogrades 3 times a year, once every 6 years it’s 4 times that year. Mercury actually spends little time retrograde, only about 3 weeks! Mars retrogrades every 25/26 months for 60-80 days.

Retrogrades in the sky are passing periods. Retrogrades in a birth chart are life long, a living entity. As a place that is reprocessed over and over, fantastic skills are developed per planet and sign, along with the other chart factors that may be linked to it. Many top world businesses have many retrogrades in their charts! They have super expertise and it is still growing with the times! Retrogrades keep us mindful and present. In humans about 25% of the population has Mercury Retrograde, and that includes celebrities, LOL!  Fun read: 5 Fascinating Facts About Being Born During Mercury Retrograde

The type of special communication skills of Mercury retrograde depend on which sign, house and planets Mercury connects with in your chart and what type of connections are made. Check out the planets of your own chart, your besties, and track the charts of babies born during retrogrades! Take advantage of these retrograde linkages, learn how to make transitions well for optimum results. Not a time to be nervous and hold back. Stay aboard! Like on a ship at sea, get your sea legs! Flex with the flow. It may seem like a mess, but the magic will happen. Guaranteed!

We hear about Mercury Retrograde the most because it retrogrades 3 to 4 times a year, for only about three weeks a time.

Mercury is the planet of the Mind, thinking, our attention, our breath and lungs, how we learn to learn, communication skills, gathering data, paperwork, signing contracts, a hand shake, the laying on of hands. All of these are essential.

Mercury is heady, there is little that isn’t interesting and little escapes its attention. Air sign Gemini is Mercury’s first sign, and Earthy Virgo is Mercury’s second sign that focuses on details, looks for perfection, expertly organizes and applies the data Gemini secures, is semi grounded! Both are known to be ultra busy! Gemini listens fast, often replies while you are still speaking! Virgo writes the book, organizes the finances, won’t go home, just has one more detail to finesse, worries about her and your health. They are quite different, you see.

Mercury Rx is don’t sign those papers about issues of the sign(s) Mercury is retrograde in! Or, do everything to make it possible so it doesn’t fall through. Escrows can fall through. Use experienced brokers who can get it done no matter what. People don’t return your calls. The dog ate it. Your computer has a snit. Or you do, LOL! You lose your cell. You get lost, turned around. Rule is be sure purchases are from reputable firms that have been around, have a good track record, have reliable returns/guarantees/warranties. Be sure the company is legitimate before you deal. Date and sign any contract changes and make sure they do too. Get/make copies, save and backup. Generally, you avoid making significant purchases/decisions especially of matters specific to the sign/s involved. If possible, don’t move or change or start jobs until you wait 4 days after Mercury turns Direct/forward.

The house/s where Mercury falls in your chart while it is retrograde is the area of your life that will be specially affected. Briefly: If it is in your 4th, it is home and family matters, your Mother. If in your 2nd or 8th, financial adjustments will be made. 6th can be work environment, skills, coworkers, your health regime. 5/7/8 houses can be important relationships. 3/9 is educational, class requirements may shift. 9 is long term plans, travels. 10 may be career, father, 11 career associations/associates, friendships. 12 may be your spiritual beliefs, perceptions. So for example, if in your 10th, be cautious about signing professional documents. If in your 4th, you may opt to wait to buy the new refrigerator – a better deal or fridge may come along. In the 1st or 3rd you might wait to purchase a new vehicle. In 2 or 7, wait for the face lift. If you need help with this, see your astrologer!

Inner planet – Mercury, Venus, Mars – retrogrades have three phase cycles. Sometimes outer planets have five and take 3 years! Sun and Moon have none. Astrologers use different names for the 3 phases. Basically they are:

1. Covering the initial ground, degrees that the retrograde will go back over when the planet ‘turns’ retrograde.
2. Retrograde covers the same degrees as Phase 1, only in the reverse direction, so your perspective takes a 180 shift while other planets continue on in their own patterns, many of them moving forward. While retrograde the planet checks on previous actions, improving on, updating choices made as it goes back.
3. The planet turns ‘forward,’ and goes over the same degrees a third time, adds finishing touches, makes experienced final adjustments before it moves on.

Stations bring special emphasis! A Station is when a planet literally appears to stand still in the sky at the retrograde and direct/forward turning points. Stations help us slow down. A Mercury station holds consciousness at a certain point for 8 days. They are a pause when we are able to be still to receive, focus, take time to think, steep in our thinking. We make things the best we can, anchor important ideas we want to keep. The longer the station the more its strength. Mercury sometimes likes to think things over, draw as much from a valuable experience as possible, or get to know a special person more deeply. More often, it is likely to go crazy waiting for more things to happen and wants to be the first to deliver the news! They may need to rest at the station because a lot has been changing. It can be a relief to take a breather from the rigors of speeding here and there so they don’t miss a morsel!

Planets at different speeds hold station different lengths of time. Mercury stations are about 8 days – four days before and four days after the turns. Prepare for retrogrades as best you can before the Retrograde Station starts! When Mercury turns forward, wait for the Direct Station to finish before turning yourself loose to go ahead.

Every Retrograde is unique by sign, aspects, and where it happens in your chart! As time goes on the planetary backdrop changes. Context shifts. Retrogrades, like any other astro phenomena, evolve. Each planet has its own matters. The sign(s) it is in while in retrograde, are how those matters are applied, which matters are processed.

In retrogrades we may be at another stage or encounter an addition to something already going on in our personal chart. Also, the degrees of this retrograde have to be in connection with your personal chart or it will have little to no effect. There can be a turning away from things we are done with that we never thought we would change about, yet here it happens…old ideas are simply abandoned. Just done.

Sometimes retrogrades cross Portals, where sign changes happen! As the cycle goes forward, retrograde, then forward again, we learn how to make that particular crossing. Gradually we see how those two signs are linked, work together, support/lead each other. We see the contribution of each sign, how they each are part of the Zodiacal Great Circle. Be mindful of your own talent, offer it. Be mindful of what others have to offer, be grateful. You may not like them, but we can’t do without their part of the divine tapestry, the Light they hold at that crossroads or as they lead.

What a journey! When you are traveling, what amazing beauty lies around each new bend. Different directions, different views. Maybe what’s behind is out of sight, a memory; what’s ahead is a mystery! Inward turns, like retrograde, give us time to pause, hold steady, slow down. Outward bends like turning forward/Direct, extend our vision of potentials. Each turn, that Station, gives us time to think, recalibrate, prepare for the next stretch. It’s important that there are changes, reversals, old ideas that clogged things up are left behind, revelations have room to occur, new ideas are teased into action! Potential is remembered or revealed and we are rededicated.

Clearly life doesn’t stop during retrogrades, and not all people’s charts are connected to all retrogrades. If your chart is connected to any given one, you will need to do your best and what you can. You can’t explain this astrological stuff to all people, maybe not your boss or even a good friend. Astrology? You’re nuts! Ok, so there are times to find ways to stall or not connect, delay. You can estimate the possibilities of others not bringing certain papers to the meeting and bring them yourself, save the day! You can ask for a review of the current decisions 4 days or more after Mercury goes Direct/forward. If there are important must do meetings, Dr and Veterinarian appts, call in advance to verify that the date and right time are on their calendars AND yours! Verify that part you ordered IS ordered, being sent to the correct address, the expected arrival date! Know that it might be late. Keep track of keys, wallets/purses, phones.

Document your work and events daily, save ALL emails and backup safely off the premises. No giving your passwords or copies of keys to anyone. If all goes well, fine. If not, all the pertinent information you need is available.

If you have other favorable prevailing aspects, especially with outer planets, it is likely changes will ultimately be to your benefit. Do check with your astrologer for your good dates and times of day to make the best of it! And pray their chart isn’t affected by the retrograde, LOL!

With a transiting Retrograde, if you have factors in your chart at or very close to those degrees, especially at the station degrees, you will be activated. Check in with your astrologer if you have significant plans at those times. Plan ahead for what you want to get done, as much as possible, well before those times, and line up what you can do during those times!

Classically, marriages are not scheduled during retrogrades, especially double retrogrades. The most common doubles are Mercury with Venus or Mars. Mercury is contracts. Venus is love and money. Mars is sex and independence. Hmm… Mercury can have a short attention span in some signs. Nonjudgmental communications are vital in relationships, to keep up with each other’s thinking, to allow for change. Listening is a cherished skill to balance daily sharing. Venus is love, affection, admiration, the grace of expressing appreciation, giving blessings and gratitude, important values. Mars is what we do for each other, being there, working together, times of passion, a shared exuberance of life together, mutual inspiration! If even one, sometimes some, of these basic components to a relationship changes, it can be the deal breaker. We choose relationships for the important things in life. Remember, transiting retrogrades or rx combo, come and go, but if they are in the marriage chart they are there forever. It is the birth chart of your marriage. If a transiting retrograde activates the marriage retrograde(s), it can be a vulnerable time, even more so if it activates one or both of each of your natal chart retros if you have one/them.

Some relationships are matters of the Soul’s growth and will happen no matter what for better or worse. They happen perhaps due to a ‘karmic’ debt, are for us to learn humility/compassion as we learn how to deal with differences, strengthen us to make personal change – and so many more possibilities.

Check with your astrologer. First be sure your own natal charts indicate your ability or likelihood to enjoy relationships at all. Check if basic compatibility is in especially good order. If that is good, be very careful with those wedding plans. Look ahead for timing that may be better for you. Remember, we are proposing a life long relationship. That is worth waiting for the very best chart. Be wise and wait if possible. A marriage chart is like a birth chart; it is with you the rest of your marriage.

Yes, there are times when it is not possible to wait. Still check for the best available chart within the time frame available. A simple thing like the Moon changing signs or houses can make a big difference. Moon changes sign every 2 1/4 to 2.5 days. Sometimes just waiting a few minutes or an hour can make a significant difference!

Retrogrades can drive you crazy and still be a terrific asset if you know how to use them!

2022 Mercury Virgo-Libra Two Sign Retrograde Cycle !

August 20 at 24 Virgo to Oct 16, 8 Libra 55 – RETROGRADE Sep 9 – Oct 2

Offering talents, sharing skills and working well together are a sound basis for partnerships! This retrograde will bring these and other facets of our relationships under scrutiny. Image by English illustrator Jaime Jacob. She is currently based in Groningen, the Netherlands.

9.22 Note! Happy LIBRA, FALL EQUINOX, MABON! Mercury returns to Virgo tomorrow, New Moon Sunday! Blessed be!

2022 is a RETROGRADE YEAR! All three inner planets, Mercury, Venus and Mars, retrograde! Three Mercury retrogrades are two sign retrogrades, there are 9 multiple stations – SIX are at 24-26 degrees, 3 at 8 degrees, and two double retrogrades! Stations are important because, if Mercury, he hovers for 8 days at the same degree! If Mars, it’s longer!

Complex two sign retrogrades of 2022! The RXs fully in 2022 are all 3 in earth and air, simplicity and practicality to complex thinking and exploration. This one is the last pair, Virgo, tidy detailed thought processes, healthcare, and Libra, beauty, genius intricacies of relationships, personal balance. Virgo has 1 or more skillful crafts, often is a great gardener, while Libra is the social director/wedding planner, ultra model with a bank account to match, counselor/attorney! Virgo’s talents are often the backbone of a great enterprise partnership. Virgo wants a clean machine, and Libra wants fairness, finesse, equality, justice, and legal! Virgo’s documentation and research, credibility, leads to Libra promotion community wide, his connections with people in key places have great value! The team negotiations they make are a gift to us all.

All two sign RXs are one sign bridging to their next sign. There will be overlaps of events and processes involving both signs. The first sign is the foundation for the next sign. In a retrograde, the second sign is previewed. Information and experiences, new ideas of the second sign will be taken back to uplevel the first sign, integrate, coordinate, regroup. When Mercury returns to the second sign he has more solid backup from the first sign, now refreshed and more on board with the new potentials the second sign offers! Crossing the bridge between them is now more fluid. Each knows more about what to expect, trust is being built. Difference is an asset! Each is strengthened and the second sign is bolder knowing he has someone who understands him backing him!

This Late Summer-Fall Mercury retrograde cycle spans Virgo – Libra. When I say cycle, I mean they start into the degrees they will cover that they will go back over when retrograde. The third part of the cycle is when they go forward over the same degrees the third time. Many course changes will be made, skills improved, equipment updated, relationships will be let go or improved as new goals and priorities become apparent. Time will be saved when all is said and done. Production increases for less cost.

Aug 20 Mars enters Gemini the same day Mercury in Virgo starts his retrograde cycle! Furthermore, while this Mercury Rx cycle is finishing Oct 17, the next retrograde, a Mars/Mercury Double Retrograde, is already starting with Mars entering his every 2 years retrograde cycle Sep 3! This is important because Mars activates and collaborates with this Rx and carries it’s information through, while still in Gemini, to the winter Mercury in Capricorn, they in double retrograde at the same time Dec 29, 2022 to Jan 12, 2023!

Gemini and Virgo are both Mercury signs! Mars in Gemini gathers the data; Virgo organizes it and puts it to work! Mars is mentally quite frisky in Gemini, will be stirring our thinking into whirlwinds of thought; our attention will be on high alert scanning for what’s new, on the cutting edge! Gemini is Mercury’s first sign, and Mars hands all the new information to Mercury in Virgo, Mercury’s second sign for processing and applying! He teases Virgo with the very latest updated information! Virgo is the Queen of adapting and shifting the system, and she wants the best, so it is quickly incorporated and put to good use post haste! Looks like this will be an especially lively Mercury retrograde cycle! Virgo will have her hands full! Good thing she likes to work and feel useful.

Mercury in Virgo, Mercury’s second sign, is mindful to required details. It may be an important health facet, a business technique, daily maintenance, not forgetting your mate’s birthday! Mercury has the sale’s list and picks up the best foods, clothing and household goods and services for the right price! Virgo is adept at managing resources, organizing systems that save time. Mercury schedules the email invitations, puts up the event posters, signs the checks! Mercury gets and gives good training. Virgo can be annoyed when their routine is messed up, but often the compensations and adjustments prove to be worth it. From their new vantage point, choices are more clear. There is less worry, better health, good sleep. Virgo is expert at care and feeding and the garden of life shows the difference!

Aug 25 to Sep 23, Mercury is in Libra! Mars in Gemini will favorably trine Libra. Mars will spur Libra on with the exciting informations he gathers on all the parties involved. She will feel inspired to take some chances. Libra will attempt to match up skills, experience, and compatibility to get things done quickly! Brilliant! 

Libra tests the balance we keep while riding with the deepest waters of life, often at great risk. In equality they walk beside us, cross the abyss on the tightrope steadying the way. Libra reaches forward to connect with the peoples we meet when we might still be too shy to chat them up ourselves. There is less judgement, more kindness shown to all they can. Business makes terrific alliances and good progress is made.

In Libra, Mercury shares viewpoints, valuable differences offered by many cultures, ages, male/female, economic, political, racial, religious or not. People’s minds are curious, swayed, re-balanced. A remarkable mental shape-shifting occurs and you are surprised and that you are the same person! People equity is perceived in a new perspective. Teamwork is more blended, empathetic and efficient. Laws are changed. Beauty takes on new meaning! Justice takes a new tone…

Important Retrograde Direct Stations!

The RETROGRADE station is at 8 Libra 55, Sep 6-13. It is connecting with three fixed stars! It is conjunct Vindemiatrix, trine Aldebaran, sextile Antares! 

1. Vindemiatrix has a bad, bad rep, like Algol. It is called the WidowMaker, shudder. Per Jamie at Astrology King, it figures strongly and regularly in deaths which are in some way dramatic, newsworthy or are resented in much more than the usual degree by those left behind (assassinations, common criminal murders, executions, airline disasters etc.). In the constellation (not sign) Virgo, it indicates an abundance in harvest and a fruitfulness of agriculture in general. Go figure. Much more!
2. Aldebaran is the alpha star of constellation Taurus. It stands completely differently than Vindemiatrix! With Mercury it affects the health and domestic affairs, prominence through mercurial matters, material gain, and has many learned friends. V may make a dramatic problem, but Aldebaran is there to catch it before it hits the ground! More!
     
3. Antares is the fiery red and emerald green star in the Heart of the Scorpio constellation! What a beauty! As one of the 15 Behenian Fixed Stars, its image is a man armed with a coat of mail, or a scorpion. It gives understanding and memory, help against evil spirits, and the power of driving them away and binding them. With Mercury, uh oh, it is suspicious, wrongfully accuses friends, unpopular, uses ecclesiastic influence in business, money obtained slowly and with much difficulty, danger of sickness to the native and his family, and death of a relative at home or away. More!

Remember, Aldebaran and Antares are both well aspected by Mercury, improving accessibility. Aldebaran will be even better. The difficulties of Antares will be somewhat mitigated with possible surprising opportunities and outcomes after all. 

Mercury will be contacting three fixed stars at his Direct station, 24 Virgo 11! He is sextile Pollux, the Gemini constellation mighty Immortal Twin. Mercury is semisextile lucky Spica and Arcturus. Jamie at Astrology King says: While Spica is sweet and innocent, Arcturus is more apt at dealing with the darker aspects of life on earth. Read more at his site and see how your own chart connects with the Fixed Stars! 

The DIRECT Station is Sep 28 – Oct 5. It’s opposite the April 12 166 year Jupiter Conjunct Neptune 23 Pisces 58! Some of you may remember that profound time. It is being revisited by Mercury retrograde in Virgo, a skeptical analyst. Mercury is in its second sign and wants to know the facts! Did it prove out as promised?! Have the possibilities been integrated, tested? As it happens, Neptune has retrograded back to 23 Pisces 36, so Mercury can ask him in person from right across the table! They can exchange and Neptune can share some of his inspiring dreams for Mercury to put into play! Mercury is logical in Virgo, while Neptune is mystical and can be confusing. No worry. Stations focus, contemplate, anchor the keeper thoughts. Don’t worry if your thoughts change a 1000 times! That’s a healthy perusal of the possibilities! Stay with it! Sift through them for the gems.

Eight Day Grand Earth Trine Mercury Direct Station, Algol, Pluto! WOW!

The 2022 24-26 degree stations will be connected with fixed Star Algol, 26 Taurus. This Mercury Direct Station connects well, the best, trines super star deadly but spiritual Algol! Algol can be your fierce feminine protector ally or cause grave trouble, and at the same time! Be sure as you can to make things safe in your life, be with safe people. Check your attitude and take a break if you find yourself being negatively provocative. Back off of harsh criticisms; instead, be the mentor. Improve your skills. Take care of your health and be mindful of your possessions, from tangible stuff, to what you carry in your mind. Read more about Algol, but don’t go overboard about its negative factors. Scan the whole article. Some of this was written by astrologers long ago. Due to research in modern times we now know more and have more options.

Since powerful Pluto has been trine Algol, traveling with her for some time, certain channels have likely been opened or made curious. Mercury is an expert communicator, knows when to tread lightly, can run pretty quickly if needed. Gorgon Medusa may find it easier to hear Mercury now. Practical Virgo Mercury, no poser, is willing to do the work, is poised in Station favorably with Algol. With Mercury in station, they may have an unprecedented chat of some duration! Who knows? Maybe dangerous Algol has longed for someone to hear her story. Mercury, in healing Virgo, is quite the analyst and gives her his full attention. Maybe you will sit down with your ‘monster’ within and talk it over. See your therapist? Write of remarkable saves!

Pluto, currently 26 Capricorn, though a tough planet, is favorably trine Algol these days. Being a shamanic healer, Pluto, in hard working Capricorn, can turn the tables and work with Algol, somewhat taming her beast! Pluto in Cap is majorly corporate and a sublime fundraiser! Virgo keeps the financial books and writes of the mega adventures, including the revelation of some well kept secrets! In behalf of greater planetary causes, Taurus is Mother Earth, Algol has something powerful to do and less time for mischief! Mercury in Virgo may supply some helpful details and fabulously workable systems! As old patterns are cleaned, reorged or disposed of, miracles can happen against the odds! Face the demons and work with them!

Fall/Winter Mars/Mercury Double Retrograde

While this Mercury Rx cycle is finishing Oct 17, the next retrograde, a Mars/Mercury Double Retrograde, is already starting with Mars entering his every 2 years retrograde cycle Sep 3! The Mars cycle has special significance this time. His cycle doesn’t end until March 16, 2023, only SEVEN days before Pluto goes into Aquarius March 23, 2023. Mars will be in Gemini setting our thinking into action mode, trying out every facet of our thoughts to see what works best right now. And that will keep on changing. Our thoughts will be quite loosened as we are excited to find which ones work best! Some actions will fail, not because they are bad ideas, but it isn’t their time yet. Put it on your calendar to try again later on.

Mars Rx in Gemini has the super important role of awakening minds and getting them to walk their talk! Let go of the old; get used to the new. Pluto will be in Aquarius 21 years and stopping for nobody! Many, whether they know of Pluto changing signs or not, will feel urgency. Their words and action will be crucial to getting this change off to a successful start. Things are going to change more quickly and we will need to keep up. Old ideas will need to be sloughed so we won’t be blocked or slowed down by the burden of them! Start practicing now!

Here is the Outer Planet timetable at the end of the Mars Rx cycle:

3 07.23 Saturn Pisces
3 11      Jupiter conjunct Chiron in Aries
3 16      Mars finishes complete Rx cycle
3 23      Pluto Aquarius! (While Mars is still in Gemini)
3 25      Mars into Cancer! Emphasis on putting feelings into action! Letting go of the past.

Saturn is back in Pisces, fearful of failure or making mistakes, addictions, or skillfully harnessing and building Pisces dreams. Jupiter is expanding Chiron’s wounded quality or giving new perspective to healing and business/relationship skills, lucky actions taken ASAP! These perusals lead to altering Pluto’s stance while newly taking the reins of humanitarian Aquarian networks!  

The Aug 20 to Oct 16 Virgo/Libra Mercury retrograde cycle is 24 Virgo to 8 Libra 55 and the 2022-23 Rx, Dec 12 to Feb 7 is from 8 to 24 Capricorn. Mars is from 8 to 25 Gemini! Those of you with chart factors at 8 and 24/25 degrees may have similar matters come up again each time those degrees are activated when the planets are holding in stations at those points. Since they will be in different signs, there will be new ways of applying solutions each time. Mercury will think things over Aug-Oct. Mars will try on some action about what he thinks Sep-March. The Capricorn Mercury Rx will build on Mercury in Virgo’s previous arrangements, and will think on what Mars thinks and what to do about that during their double retrograde!

With all three inner planets, Mercury, Venus and Mars, there is a strong resonance with SIX stations repeatedly formed at 24, 25 and 26 degrees. If you have chart factors at those degrees they will have Mercury and Venus 8 day stations activating them from Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo, the three Earth signs, and from Mars in Gemini! Note that these degrees are linked with Pluto until he passes the 27/28th degree, and Algol the whole time.

The 8th degree will be stationed by Mercury twice, Capricorn and Libra, and Mars at 8 Gemini.   

There will be no missing this 2022 intensity for those of you activated!

Special REPEAT ASPECTS!
First, some background context…

Mercury covers 24 Virgo to 8 Libra 55, 16 degrees. 

Mercury aspects two planets in all three of the parts of the retrograde cycle, one in Virgo, one in Libra.

Aug 20 Mars enters Gemini the same day Mercury in Virgo starts his retrograde cycle! Gemini and Virgo are both Mercury signs! Gemini gathers the data; Virgo organizes it and puts it to work! Mars is mentally quite frisky in the Gemini, will be stirring our thinking into whirlwinds of thought; our attention will be on high alert scanning for what’s new, on the cutting edge! Gemini is Mercury’s first sign, and Mars hands all the new information to Mercury in Virgo, Mercury’s second sign for processing and applying! He teases Virgo with the very latest updated information! Virgo is the Queen of adapting and shifting the system, and she wants the best, so it is quickly incorporated and put to good use post haste! Looks like this will be an especially lively Mercury retrograde cycle! Virgo will have her hands full!

Mars takes 2 years to make his circuit through the signs, Aries to Pisces. This time the sign of Mars’ retrogrades cycle is Gemini. Due to that Rx, he will be in Gemini Aug 20, 2022 to Mar 25 2023, 7 months 6 days of that 2 years through all the signs, or 30% of the 2 years! 2022 and the turning of the year to 2023 Gemini will be emphasized. Gemini thinks; Mars puts it into action! And that takes us right up to Pluto’s March 23 2023 sign change into Aquarius! Only two days later, Mars moves into Cancer and the whole emphasis of action changes. We have developed the word skills and subsequent action. Now it will be time to activate our feelings, women and children, seek our right to safe and sustainable home ownership, business that comfortably supports our family.

Mars in Gemini activates two Retrogrades, this one and the closing 2022 to New Year 2023 Mercury in Capricorn Rx. Not only does the entire Mercury Capricorn Rx cycle fall in the Mars Rx cycle, but Mercury retrogrades during Mars retrograde! They combine to make a 15 day DOUBLE RX Dec 29 2022 to Jan 12 2023 when Mars turns Direct/forward! This current Virgo Libra Mercury retrograde will lend its intelligences to Mars, make him stronger when he and Mercury in Capricorn are Rx at the same time. Yes, the Double will be only 15 days, but guarantee your New Year won’t start exactly as planned! See more about the Gemini Mars Retrograde!

► Please check the Timeline below to see the event dates in context. 

Mercury in Virgo trine Pluto in Capricorn leads! Aug 22, Sep 27 and Mars trines Saturn the day before the 8 day retrograde station starts. The last trine is Oct 6. Mercury in Virgo is clever, doesn’t miss a trick, does fine work, gets materials at the best prices. She may not come in precisely on time, but the exceptional quality is worth the wait. Both Virgo and Pluto are healers and finances conscious. Virgo uses diet, herbs and doing work that takes your mind off things. Pluto gives you in depth therapy, revitalizes your Kundalini, cleanses your system and you are good to go! Virgo is the accountant. She has power. Pluto deals with sizable funds, CEOs, powerful non profits. They can get a lot done. Virgo and Capricorn are staunch workers, Mercury gives special mindfulness in Virgo, his second sign. Pluto is intense and knows what is behind the scenes and brings it to bear.

Mercury in Libra is opposite Jupiter in Aries finishes! Go-getters!  Sep 1 the Mars sextile Jupiter has culminated in all its glory! Everyone is cheered to see the new winner, new instructor, amazing new vehicle! Sep 2 and 18 are aspects 1 and 2, the third is Oct 12. Sep 2 is the first opposition and everyone is talking about the exciting new item! Mercury in Libra can explain the details in very attractive terms! The gathering goes smoothly, you are treated kindly, fairly and the food is divine! You can see why it’s important to sign up and you do. Jupiter has entertaining tales to tell, can be outright lies, but it’s fun and funny, and you would do it again! You learn a lot, gain some great new perspectives and compete or greet, you’re on! Aries is the first and you feel more alive than in a long time! There are two sides to things both with Libra and that these planets are opposite, but when they are working together everyone profits in a good way. If there are separations, letting go, do with all the grace you can muster. Be as open and honest as makes sense. Protect yourself and honor others.

None of these fall in either 8 day station, so things will be moving right along.

ALL ABOUT RETROGRADES! Some of you are old hands. Others have never heard of Retrograde before. New lingo: Retrograde, Direct, Station and more…

Retrogrades are fascinatingly complex! The wild dynamics of retrograde cycles are, as viewed from Earth, it happens when a faster planet passes a slower planet. Mercury is faster than Earth, while Earth is slower than Mars. The planet appears to go forward, backward, then forward over the same ground three times, and if outer planets sometimes five times in two years! Of course that doesn’t happen in reality. It is visual because of the perspective from Earth. During that time, all the other planets are moving too, so even when a retrograde planet is going ‘backward’ over the same degrees, they are ALL going forward, even the retrograde planet! It’s ‘illogical,’ but that’s what happens.

Venus retrogrades about every 19 months for only about 40 days. Only 7–8% of the population has it in their natal chart. Mercury retrogrades 3 times a year, once every 6 years it’s 4 times that year. Mercury actually spends little time retrograde. Mars retrogrades every 25/26 months for 60-80 days.

Retrogrades in the sky are passing periods. Retrogrades in a birth chart are life long, a living entity. As a place that is reprocessed over and over, fantastic skills are developed per planet and sign, along with the other chart factors that may be linked to it. Many top world businesses have many retrogrades in their charts! They have super expertise and it is still growing with the times! Retrogrades keep us mindful and present. In humans about 25% of the population has Mercury Retrograde, and that includes celebrities, LOL!  Fun read: 5 Fascinating Facts About Being Born During Mercury Retrograde

The type of special communication skills of Mercury retrograde depend on which sign, house and planets Mercury connects with in your chart and what type of connections are made. Check out the planets of your own chart, your besties, and track the charts of babies born during retrogrades! Take advantage of these retrograde linkages, learn how to make transitions well for optimum results. Not a time to be nervous and hold back. Stay aboard! Like on a ship at sea, get your sea legs! Flex with the flow. It may seem like a mess, but the magic will happen. Guaranteed!

We hear about Mercury Retrograde the most because it retrogrades 3 to 4 times a year, 3 to 4 weeks a time.

Mercury is the planet of the Mind, thinking, our attention, our breath and lungs, how we learn to learn, communication skills, gathering data, paperwork, signing contracts, a hand shake, the laying on of hands. All of these are essential.

Mercury is heady, there is little that isn’t interesting and little escapes its attention. Air sign Gemini is Mercury’s first sign, and Earthy Virgo is Mercury’s second sign that focuses on details, looks for perfection, expertly organizes and applies the data Gemini secures, is semi grounded! Both are known to be ultra busy! Gemini listens fast, often replies while you are still speaking! Virgo writes the book, organizes the finances, won’t go home, just has one more detail to finesse, worries about her and your health. They are quite different, you see.

Mercury Rx is don’t sign those papers about issues of the sign(s) Mercury is retrograde in! Or, do everything to make it possible so it doesn’t fall through. Escrows can fall through. Use experienced brokers who can get it done no matter what. People don’t return your calls. The dog ate it. Your computer has a snit. Or you do, LOL! You lose your cell. You get lost, turned around. Rule is be sure purchases are from reputable firms that have been around, have a good track record, have reliable returns/guarantees/warranties. Be sure the company is legitimate before you deal. Date and sign any contract changes and make sure they do too. Get/make copies, save and backup. Generally, you avoid making significant purchases/decisions especially of matters specific to the sign/s involved. If possible, don’t move or change or start jobs until you wait 4 days after Mercury turns Direct/forward.

The house/s where Mercury falls in your chart while it is retrograde is the area of your life that will be specially affected. Briefly: If it is in your 4th, it is home and family matters, your Mother. If in your 2nd or 8th, financial adjustments will be made. 6th can be work environment, skills, coworkers, your health regime. 5/7/8 houses can be important relationships. 3/9 is educational, class requirements may shift. 9 is long term plans, travels. 10 may be career, father, 11 career associations/associates, friendships. 12 may be your spiritual beliefs, perceptions. So for example, if in your 10th, be cautious about signing professional documents. If in your 4th, you may opt to wait to buy the new refrigerator – a better deal or fridge may come along. In the 1st or 3rd you might wait to purchase a new vehicle. In 2 or 7, wait for the face lift. If you need help with this, see your astrologer!

Inner planet – Mercury, Venus, Mars – retrogrades have three phase cycles. Sometimes outer planets have five and take 3 years! Sun and Moon have none. Astrologers use different names for the 3 phases. Basically they are:

1. Covering the initial ground, degrees that the retrograde will go back over when the planet ‘turns’ retrograde.
2. Retrograde covers the same degrees as Phase 1, only in the reverse direction, so your perspective takes a 180 shift while other planets continue on in their own patterns, many of them moving forward. While retrograde the planet checks on previous actions, improving on, updating choices made as it goes back.
3. The planet turns ‘forward,’ and goes over the same degrees a third time, adds finishing touches, makes experienced final adjustments before it moves on.

Stations bring special emphasis! A Station is when a planet literally appears to stand still in the sky at the retrograde and direct, forward turning points. Stations help us slow down. A Mercury station holds consciousness at a certain point for 8 days. They are a pause when we are able to be still to receive, focus, take time to think, steep in our thinking. We make things the best we can, anchor important ideas we want to keep. The longer the station the more its strength. Mercury sometimes likes to think things over, draw as much from a valuable experience as possible, or get to know a special person more deeply. More often, it is likely to go crazy waiting for more things to happen and wants to be the first to deliver the news! They may need to rest at the station because a lot has been changing. It can be a relief to take a breather from the rigors of speeding here and there so they don’t miss a morsel!

Planets at different speeds hold station different lengths of time. Mercury stations are about 8 days – four days before and four days after the turns. Prepare for retrogrades as best you can before the Retrograde Station starts! When Mercury turns forward, wait for the Direct Station to finish before turning yourself loose to go ahead.

Every Retrograde is unique by sign, aspects, and where it happens in your chart! As time goes on the planetary backdrop changes. Context shifts. Retrogrades, like any other astro phenomena, evolve. Each planet has its own matters. The sign(s) it is in while in retrograde, are how those matters are applied, what matters are processed.

In retrogrades we may be at another stage or encounter an addition to something already going on in our personal chart. Also, the degrees of this retrograde have to be in connection with your personal chart or it will have little to no effect. There can be a turning away from things we are done with that we never thought we would change about, yet here it happens…old ideas are simply abandoned. Just done.

Sometimes retrogrades cross Portals, where sign changes happen! As they go forward, retrograde, then recross forward, we learn how to make that particular crossing. Gradually we see how those two signs are linked, work together, support each other. We see the contribution of each sign, how they each are part of the Zodiacal Great Circle. Be mindful of your own talent, offer it. Be mindful of what others have to offer, be grateful. You may not like them, but we can’t do without their part of the divine tapestry, the Light they hold at that crossroads.

What a journey! When you are traveling, what amazing beauty lies around each new bend. Different directions, different views. Maybe what’s behind is out of sight, a memory; what’s ahead is a mystery! Inward turns, like retrograde, give us time to pause, hold steady, slow down. Outward bends like turning forward/Direct, extend our vision of potentials. Each turn, that Station, gives us time to think, recalibrate, prepare for the next stretch. It’s important that there are changes, reversals, old ideas that clogged things up are left behind, revelations have room to occur, new ideas are teased into action! Potential is remembered and we are rededicated.

Clearly life doesn’t stop during retrogrades, and not all people’s charts are connected to all retrogrades. If your chart is connected to any given one, you will need to do your best and what you can. You can’t explain this astrological stuff to all people, maybe not your boss or even a good friend. Astrology? You’re nuts! Ok, so there are times to find ways to stall or not connect, delay. You can estimate the possibilities of others not bringing certain papers to the meeting and bring them yourself, save the day! You can ask for a review of the current decisions 4 days or more after Mercury goes Direct/forward. If there are important must do meetings, Dr and Veterinarian appts, call in advance to verify that the date and right time are on their calendars AND yours! Verify that part you ordered IS ordered, being sent to the correct address, the expected arrival date! Know that it might be late. Keep track of keys, wallets/purses, phones.

Document your work and events daily, save ALL emails and backup safely off the premises. No giving your passwords or copies of keys to anyone. If all goes well, fine. If not, all the pertinent information you need is available.

If you have other favorable prevailing aspects, especially with outer planets, it is likely changes will ultimately be to your benefit. Do check with your astrologer for your good dates and times of day to make the best of it! And pray their chart isn’t affected by the retrograde, LOL!

With a transiting Retrograde, if you have factors in your chart at or very close to those degrees, especially at the station degrees, you will be activated. Check in with your astrologer if you have significant plans at those times. Plan ahead for what you want to get done, as much as possible, well before those times, and line up what you can do during those times!

Classically, marriages are not scheduled during retrogrades. Basically they are simply unstable. Libra is a favored marriage sign, but retros exacerbate their being challenged to make up their mind. Virgo is talented to be picky and critical. Good for research, not so good for humans. Check with your astrologer. First be sure your basic compatibility is in especially good order. If that is good, be very careful with those wedding plans. Look ahead for timing that may be better for you. Be wise and wait. A marriage chart is like a birth chart; it is with you the rest of your marriage.  

This RETROGRADE emphasizes VIRGO and LIBRA – a skills, health and relationship connection, the Grand Earth Trine of Mercury, Pluto and Fixed Star Algol – facing your demons squarely, revisiting the 166 year Jupiter conjunct Neptune! 

Refresh and update your skills and obligations. Changes are well processed by Virgo and Libra!

Cancer New MicroMoon!

Tuesday June 28, 7.52 PM Pacific at 7 Cancer 23

Literally Potential for Rich New Beginnings! Great Conversations; Ideas Light You Up!

The Milky Way is above a yurt at designated Dark Sky Dead Horse Point State Park near Moab, Utah. Photo credit: Bret Edge. Nothing like a summer new moon right from your own window with no traffic!

Nothing like a Midsummer New Moon, especially when Mother Moon and Father Sun lead the way of a Bowl Chart! Bowls are a Cancer implement of life, LOL! They hold that precious Cancer food, seeds. They scoop water, pour out extras. Baskets gather the harvest’s abundance, carry what will be shared with others. As a parabola, they take in the surroundings, alert us to passersby, provide credit card and internet security. Mama Moon in her own sign Cancer is super careful and wants the best security possible for her home and children. She wants to start a clean new annual cycle and is at the peak of the year, longest days!

Moon glories with Sun in her sign with her. She nurtures Sun’s Light and he glows with radiance over the fields of new grown crops that feed us! Cancer is grateful for his gift, gathers the nutritious harvests, assures the health of her children. She knows the seasons, stores what is needed for colder short days coming later.

Cancers are part of their communities, the businesses that weave the connections between them all, sharing their offerings, whether local or the world community. They are great traders, interact globally for the benefit of all. Moon and Sun will let the community know what their chart is doing, has to offer, negotiates their needs. Person to person, they work in their community to protect the rights of women, children, food and home security, environmental protections essential for plenty of clean water.

Within the Bowl are Saturn in Aquarius, filtering friendships, managing the vital humanitarian connections/networks, keeping the people apprised, working the possibilities of group action. Neptune, in his own sign Pisces, neighbors Saturn opening our spirits to super potentials, works of the Soul. He unites them all spiritually with insights regarding our addictions from food to dangerous substances and each other. Empathy and compassion make communications, sharing dreams, more heartful. Safe gates are opened for deeper exchanges, mutually appreciated collaboration. Ha! 3 in the feisty Aries contingency, a stellium, Jupiter, Chiron and Mars in his own sign, are off on new ventures at any moment! Several winners prevail! They are leaders, the first responders! Uranus in Taurus is forging enduring planetary networks in behalf of Earth care, sustainably sourced income, sustainable living. Venus and Mercury in Gemini, Mercury’s first own sign, were born to spread the good word, take it to the press! Their messages are inspirational, get help where it is needed most! We thank them for the call.

Pluto in Capricorn is the base planet, making sure things are politically embedded or up rooted as needed. He protects from casualties, insists on you taking your responsibilities or there will be losses. Soil and water toxins, drugs, abuses of people and privileges, gun violence, disasters, the pandemic, are high on our lists. That’s a long list. There is little that will be done before Pluto’s shift into Aquarius March 23, 2023. Pluto in Aquarius will need to take drastic action for the reforms required to happen. It will easily take the 21 years Pluto is in Aquarius to make significant changes. But when Pluto was last in AQ, there was the American Revolution, French Revolution, Industrial Revolution in England. We shall see. We will need some powerful leaders for the good. See more Pluto in Capricorn   In Aquarius

We have four planetary connections at 7 Degrees! The New Moon at 7 Cancer, sweet Venus 7 Gemini, uppity Jupiter 7 Aries, square the New Moon!

Venus in Aries semisextiles, gives her blessing to New Moon news! In Aries she’s not so easy sweet, but smiles when she’s asking her hero to fight for her. Moon understands the plight of women and knows the historic protests of women of courage. She likely supports and applauds Venus for standing up. Sun is putting out the carpet for the Princess to emphasize respect. Jupiter in Aries squaring Moon and Sun is loudly calling for justice, for them to make their position public. The community looks to them for their leadership.

Venus sextile Jupiter better be fast to keep up with him! Jupiter is fast, in Aries fastest! But he likes her, so he may take unprecedented action and circle back to her. She connects with the media and she’s exceptional with the words. Jupiter wants the cause to be reported fairly. He may even hire her. Aries is the sign of new beginnings and it will be fiery HOT! The dross is burned away that we may go forward unfettered!

Jupiter is a planet of perspective, and in Aries, anything that moves has his instant attention. He compares with his vast data bank, decides head swimmingly quickly whether to go or no. Like betting the horses, always put a buck on the longest odds! Jupiter looks for meaning and refuses to invest in unethical prospects. But if he goes to the dark side he will be infamous rather than famous! He looks for Truth, and if he’s the bad guy, plays it upfront and can get away with it. Or, he takes it to church and makes believers out of them, making sure they know the consequences if they fail! He can be a glib storyteller of the tallest tales, or assault your faulty thinking and turn your life around! One way or the other, you are fully entertained, amazed and inspired! Grab the reins and go for it! Word to the wise: invest on a trial basis first, see how it goes!

Just being in the same sign Jupiter is delighted to encourage Chiron’s healing prowess and cheer Mars to surprising victories beyond his usual performance!

Mid degrees, in the first three signs, are Chiron is 16 Aries, Uranus at 17 Taurus and Mercury 18 Gemini, Mercury’s own sign.

Chiron the wounded healer teacher is boundless into new types of forward moving healing of your body, your relationships and businesses! He will start them then leave them for Taurus and Capricorn to take care of, follow up!

Uranus in Taurus will be more than willing. Taurus will take on the work steady and powerfully. They are earth movers. Uranus knows how to network and bring the tribe together. Progress will be made. Sustainable living is the goal and it will happen.

Uranus in Taurus is stepping in neighborly stride with Chiron in Aries! Uranus is freedom, unpredictable evolution! Aries never could be told what to do! Chiron is too old to be bossed, and Taurus just waits him out. He owns his farm, has the food and literally stands his ground. Uranus is the ChangeMaker and Aries is the front man! He carries the first Light of the Zodiac, the torch, and Aries and Uranus inspire each other! Both are fast, so their exchanges go quickly. The huge difference between them is Aries is an independent, while Aquarius can be a loner, but has uncanny ability to unite huge groups of people. If his network is on the cutting edge, the Aries contingency will be more likely to add their skills, take the campaign to new heights in new territories!

Mercury in Gemini, has his own tribe, information network. He knows when and where to plug in for the most coverage and results. Mercury in Gemini is genius clever with words! This will be a fascinating story, with wonders that impress, an exciting component that people have been waiting to hear, finally, with heroes to take the lead! They are willing to join up. Don’t be surprised if it goes viral. Being sextile, opportunities, with Chiron, Mercury may thrillingly take up Chiron’s healing cause and put him on the map! Relationships may surge ahead, proud of their businesses and personal accomplishments together.

Late degrees planets are in four signs in a row! Pluto 27 Capricorn, Saturn 24 Aquarius, Neptune 25 Pisces, own sign, and Mars 25 Aries, own sign, first planet of the zodiac in the first sign of the zodiac! The first three planets are in the last three signs of the zodiac. They are stabilizing these signs to give Mars in Aries a strong launch! Mars is fresh, good to go!

Saturn and Neptune are neighbors, semisextile each other at 24/25 degrees. As well as connecting hugely disparate types, Saturn is trying to clarify Neptune fantasies and build the dreams of a lifetime! Saturn properly presents his extraordinary Aquarian findings to Neptune in Pisces. Neptune puts them into the dreamtime for inspection and perusal, to scan for the most subtle meaningful connections, even greater possibilities. Fixes are found for blockages. Boundaries are placed for safety, protection and prevention. Building takes on new tones. Reasons are loosened, while also imposed for greater benefits. Suffering of all kinds are reassessed, magical understanding adjusts the parameters with care.

Pluto in Capricorn can be rock solid, wants proof and substantial backing before he turns his crew loose to do further building. The world is calling him to be transparent and take care of major things. He’s doing his best to set priorities. Some of the situations are dangerous. Mars is sextile Saturn, Capricorn’s planet. Though Mars is square Pluto, their commonality is the Saturn/Capricorn tie. Mars with Saturn is hugely productive, offering amazing efficiency and innovative solutions that work like a charm! Mars and Aquarius, the sign Saturn is now in, are both leading change makers!

Their challenge is Mars being so proactive a risk taker, making waves and plenty of people are backing him and wanting results pronto. He is forcing Pluto to pick up the pace. There is frustration about what has accumulated. Pluto, conservative in Capricorn, can be behind a lot of it, the old money before morals scenario, and Mars, the Goliath hero, is bucking super funded giant corporations, making news just because he’s doing it! Whether he wins or loses, he will be a hero, maybe even a martyr for the cause, and continues to keep attracting people who want change. Hat’s off to his courage. Pluto is no fool though, and if his eyes open, he can make 180 shifts on a dime, making stunning change in record time! All it takes is one turn of the key in the lock! We’ll see what happens while he is leaving Capricorn to enter Aquarius March 2023. There are 8+ months to go.

We have four factors potently in their own signs! The New Moon herself, in Cancer, leads the way! There are important things to take care of, and sweet people and loved ones. Neptune maintains our spiritual connection, has visions that call us, brings up the courage of empathy in behalf of the underdog, the mistreated. Neptune and Mars are both at 25 degrees. Mars in Aries, small but potent, can’t wait to take action on Neptune’s dream! Mercury has heard through the grapevine there is a new project astir and wants an interview soonest! He knows big news when he smells it! This one has a little scent of singe. Somethings burning, passionately.

This Moon may be Micro, but also with the three planet Aries stellium, including its own planet Mars in his own sign, she has a lot of kick!

The North Node is always generally retrograde, traveling 19 years through the signs. Right now it is headed back to Uranus, while Uranus is gradually moving forward to meet it. The South Node, is always in the opposite sign, Scorpio in this case. North and South are working to balance the signs. Scorpio is our monies, all monies involving other entities, like banks, insurance, inheritances, big investments. Taurus is my money, money in pocket, having things for myself, your sense of your own personal worth, your own body and attractiveness, the body of our Earth Mother. With Uranus, there is a questioning of what your values are in context of how others on the planet are doing, how your friends are, what your freedom is worth, what changes you are willing to make, how is Earth herself doing?

The Moon’s North Node’s motion is generally retrograde. Uranus is the leading outer planet for now and the North Node is retrograding back to meet it. It will be the nodes’ first encounter with one of the outer planets since with Jupiter 3 times in 2016. Next will be with Jupiter 2023, Chiron, Neptune, Saturn, last with Pluto 2027 then back with Jupiter 2030.

This special conjunction, the True North Node with Uranus, is every 15 years! It always skips a sign. This year’s slow moving conjunction will be continuous June 7 through Nov 15! It emphasizes the Earth Changes we are experiencing and how our friendships are being organically assessed for true values, whether our networks are effective. See the list and more at Cafe Astrology!

• The last one was Mar 31, 2007, 16 Pisces 07.
• This one is exact Jul 31, 2022, at 1:04 PM Pacific (Jun 7 to Nov 15) at 18 Taurus 42

Fixed Stars Summary!

1) Fixed star Sirius at 14 Cancer, and Algorab 13 Libra, travel together, challengingly always square! Sirius is the brightest star, the power light of our night, so has mojo just for being! Algorab’s rep isn’t so good, and Chiron in Aries squares Sirius. Aries has no fear, so some challenging discussions will happen regarding what the best healing methods are. Just the same, Sirius will offer some glimpses that Chiron will ponder and quickly find himself accepting with modifications of his own.

Another of the 15 Behenian stars. Sirius is of the nature of Jupiter and Mars (high ambition, pride, love of power, grandeur of view.) It gives honor, renown, wealth, ardor, faithfulness, devotion, passion and resentment, and makes its natives custodians, curators and guardians. It gives honor, the goodwill and favor of men and the airy spirits, and the power to pacify nobles and others. And to tease you, it rules beryl, savine, mugwort, dragonwort and the tongue of a snake! See a lot more at Astrology King!, including ties with famous people!

Sirius in Cancer wants family harmony, so by nature goes well with our Cancer New Moon.

2) Pluto 28 Capricorn, Fixed Star Algol 26 TAURUS and the Galactic Center 27 Sagittarius!

Algol has the baddest rep of all the fixed stars. On the dark side, ‘It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens.’ Some say it’s not the ‘bad’ within us but pushing through blockages to the beauty beyond is what really matters. We can face our demons with sincere intent and life changes for the better! See more! As an individual event, things may not go well at all. If her feminine power force is called on as an ally, She may save your life or protect the Galactic Center from intruders!  

Algol and the GC are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. Currently Algol is at 26 TAURUS and the GC is 27 Sag. Whenever one is activated, they both are. Algol and the GC have an oblique position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics. They ‘see’ peripheral factors that influence the outcome. Inconjuncts sometimes lead you on a goose chase, but maybe to greener pastures. You do get a greater perspective. Even if you go back home, you are different. You have perhaps made new friends and associates that can carry that sector for you, or be a link to that sector when you need it. Excellent adjustments are in the offing. Destination Algol would not usually be a conscious choice, but sometimes it is part of our Path and it just happens. Square your shoulders and do it, eyes wide open. Fascinating encounter.

The profound Galactic Center is in fiery Sagittarius, the sign between Scorpio and Capricorn. I imagine the GC is probably enjoying lots of laughs and adventure stories beyond our imagination! The Great Educator sends rays and bolts of information we are barely capable of downloading let alone understand, and it’s not on anyone’s schedule! The GC is the center of our Milky Way, a monumental power center encompassing huge knowledge. Sagittarius is the Teacher, traveler of the cosmos across dimensions beyond our understanding, yet it exists and we have access. The GC Stars send Light from aeons away, a subtle light, but perhaps even more potent because we can’t ‘see’ it and don’t fight it. If your chart factors link up, you may find yourself having insights, both enlightening and perverse. We may know there have been consequences we didn’t realize. Some self forgiveness may be in order, apologies as appropriate. The Galactic Center offers stunning options in the magnitude of billions of stars, galaxies upon galaxies! More on the Galactic Center!

Capricorn is hosting Pluto. Pluto is trine Algol in Taurus and semi sextile The Galactic Center, piloting the whole scenario of these three powerful factors. By nature he is a no nonsense old Master and gives orders, expecting things to get done. All these three have street creds and are impressive. Capricorn has hung out with the best and functions well at this level. He treats them more equally both to himself and each other. It’s his job.

Pluto is now at 27° Capricorn and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Allowing a 3 degree range, anytime Pluto is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol at 26 Taurus 27. That period started Feb 2020 – virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines are formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20, & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022, Aug 29, Nov 16.

Pluto is an exceptionally powerful planet, so is quite comfy with the great forces! In Capricorn he is with the Masters, ones who rule kingdoms and the planet. Capricorn is a realist and Pluto a profound healer. They, Pluto, Algol, and the Galactic Center, see the times that are coming and are preparing the way for Pluto’s entry into Aquarius in 2023. For 21 years he will be called to apply his great strength in behalf of humanity.

We are more aware now that some connections need reworking, fixing, updating. Some ideas have long term implications worth working for, are financially productive, spiritually satisfying! Make notes then network like crazy to get more ideas to complete the package, make it whole, make it known. Select who will work together, and get it rolling! Be relentless! Don’t give up even when it seems bleak. Often much is happening behind the scenes, especially when many people are working for common cause. A lot can be done in a short time.

Fixed stars Polaris – the North Star, Betelgeuse in Orion are at 28 Gemini, and Procyon 25 Cn 47, will give varying additional effects per their type of connections with those signs. Note where these factors fall in your chart, which house(s). That is the section of your life that they activate. Check with your astrologer for further personal details.

3) Connections with the other planets and Algol and the GC

Neptune is at 25 Pisces sextile Algol, square the Galactic Center! The divine order is awry, and even a sextile with Algol can be a daunting affair. Can you trust her?! If she uses her miraculous feminine super powers some mighty saves may happen.

Saturn is at 24 Aquarius square Algol, sextile the Galactic Center! Big trouble and Ukraine and Russia aren’t friends. People have stepped in to help from all over the world, our mini galactic home. I have Russian friends that are donating to both sides, having family on both sides of the border. They feel so sad. We pray for healing and peace. Saturn brings breakdowns and breakthroughs. The Galactic Center can bring miracles. Please show us the good way.

Mars is briefly at 25 Aries semisextile Algol, rubbing shoulders with the mighty, taking a look, maybe getting some tips on how to fight the good fight. He’s in a power spot trine the Galactic Center! The grand infusion will likely make him blink and feel a boost accompanied with a few ‘Why didn’t I think about thats?!’ He realizes his fight has more significance than he thought and more people are watching than he realized.

New Moon’s by nature start new cycles. In Cancer we are making new beginnings with how we feel about our feelings, our family, our mother, being a mother and our children, women and women’s rights, our home, where we live, our standing in our community, in the world today. Cancer is more often than not a traditionally cultural sign, but she can call on plenty of key community connections when she needs change made! She has helped a lot of them. She knows her people in their hearts, and her intuition takes her through with flying colors!

We are so grateful for your caring! It is a healing beyond words.

Capricorn-Cancer Full Buck SuperMoon!

Wednesday July 13, 11:38 AM Pacific at 21 Capricorn 21

Time to open up to new favorable directions of Earth Work and Soul!

One of my favorite images! May the merry MidSummer Faeries dance in your heart and make magic with your Soul! Beautiful fairy art and silhouette, the Three Muses by super artist Liza Lambertini!

Hot July is perfect for dancing naked in the SuperMoon light! Get out your music machines, go barefoot! Bucks are beautiful in their fully mature velvety antlers! Hay is being harvested, making the farmers happy. Some will be having a lot of thunder rumbles shaking the earth beneath their feet! If there are storms, dance in the rain with great gratitude!

Sun remains in Cancer; Moon is now his opposite in Capricorn, leading him on to his goal. And a power lead it is, conjunct the Grand Daddy Pluto in Capricorn combination! Moon rules Mother/Child while Capricorn is Father and career. Moon in Capricorn combines the Mother/Father principles. Moon is passing through Capricorn, so she is lending her energy to him. The reverse, Saturn transiting Cancer would be quite different. For one thing, transit Moon passes quickly, only there 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 days. Saturn would be there weeks or more if at a retrograde/direct station, and making the aspect three times. Saturn tends to be the boss and an experienced master type, so would be telling Cancer what needs doing. Moon going through Capricorn, nurtures, fluffs the pillows, brings the right food. To Capricorn’s chagrin, she may easily ‘read’ his weaknesses, yet he is grateful for someone safe to talk about it with. He is grateful for her care, whether he says so or not, and a deeper relationship is formed. She gets the family there for a visit. Capricorn may be busy and brush it all off, yet may find himself glad to see them not really realizing he missed them. Oh.

The other significance is the Full Moon axis defines the rim of the Bowl chart! Not only is Moon the base planet, defending the boundaries, pushing from behind, taking care of stragglers, the frail, and elders, but she is with powerful Pluto, do or die! Quite a team! Moon is likely not her average softy self in Capricorn. Yes, she may be more vulnerable to judgments, seeming failures, down feelings that may or may not be realistic, but if experienced, she isn’t as affected. She knows her weaknesses and takes them in stride, knowing she will become stronger yet! She is the perfect person to give tough love and help. She balances her high expectations without overwhelming you and gives plenty of encouragement! Pluto knows her, trusts her insights, is glad she has his back. Pluto the great Shaman healer, shows her how to detox physically and emotionally, let go of the waste in her life. He shares his powers with monies and shows her how extraordinary dedication in relationships changes lives, and helps her refine her timing. He reinforces that there be no abuse – physical, verbal, sexual, cultural, racial or otherwise. Like I said, they are a powerful team.

Sun at the lead knows her too! He sees her talent, how very deeply she cares, even in her self protective brusque moments. Sun has his own radiance to protect him, yet he certainly is in one of the softer signs and has much more feminine instincts than most signs, but don’t underestimate him! He is a tiger in defending loved ones and family properties and business! Strong men, Cancers make good moms and nurses, are great motel owners and restaurateurs! Moon in Capricorn is an astute business adviser, an excellent researcher! Timeliness is one of her fine talents. She backs Sun as he seeks community alliances for their causes, finds information, gets education, and to fill their needs.

Sun shines his light on the children of the world. That’s all of us! He knows how special feelings are, what it means to be a child. He wants others to know this, for us all to have secure and loving quarters. He lets the public know the chart’s mission, reaches out in behalf of the chart to fulfill its needs. Mercury is close with Sun, will catch up with him on the 16th. He and Mercury take in the community in sweeping glances securing knowledge, wisdom and skills to move the wheels of time to more sustainable living that Mother Moon is calling for. Mercury gathers the facts, feels what they mean collectively, adds his intuitive foresight, spreads the news immediately.

Both Moon and Sun are delightfully linked, sextile and trine, with mystic and magical Neptune! They don’t mind his mumblings or music or mindless musings. They feel fed by his spiritual insights. They all are psychic and get the general gist. It’s like brainstorming with your Soul, all paths leading to potential. Neptune understands their concerns when they are fearful, but somehow they trust him. He sees how important it is to anchor the ship, lower the volume so they can take it all in. They are true with him and he is honored, appreciates their support. They will build on his premise.

Planets within the chart that tie in are Chiron at 16 Aries and Uranus at 18 Taurus. They are neighboring each other, Chiron leading healing, business and relationship matters. Health and vitality are important components of successful business and contribute to super partnerships, both business and pleasure! Uranus is the leader of Earthy remediations and networks in behalf of world security, sustainable living. Mercury, about to link with Sun, the chart leader, has just heard Chiron’s plea. Chiron wants Cancer and Capricorn, sometimes conservative signs, to get with the pros, see what’s real, start making changes that can have significant outcomes for the good of generations to come. This can include medical healing, career choices, choosing relationships based on mutual purpose for a better world. Uranus is both crazy and genius, yet with Moon and Sun, just past sextile/trine, great aspects with Uranus, and Mercury imminently sextile Uranus, catching up with Sun, he has already been sharing and they are intrigued. Ideas are already successfully mulling and blending in the hoppers! We will have some word on or about the 16th.

Venus remains in Gemini looking for beautiful rings for her fingers! She is known for her sweet touch, and is gracing old, now wild in Aquarius, Saturn! She is blessing Fathers, old timers, career changes. Gemini likes a variety. Venus wants more art and beauty to fill the Soul as well as your pocket book. She has a way with words and you know she’s right! Saturn is working for world changes and she can help promote him in a way that attracts the right net workers in his behalf. It’s a brief but valuable trine; make notes on how to keep it going. Document your successes. Build on them.

While Sun and Moon are profoundly embracing Neptune, charming Venus is square Neptune, providing an element of unsurety, questioning. Neptune, the sign of dreams, offers fanciful answers even if we don’t like them. They provoke another round of thought, further perspectives. Another art lover, Neptune in his own sign Pisces, shares his visions so Venus can really see. Part of the message is don’t take things at face value, go a little deeper. Gemini is smart and inquisitive, so does!

Venus is teasing and tempting Pluto a bit. She’s the butterfly; he is the dark Prince of the Underworld!! He may step out into the light to connect with her. She has news he needs to hear, and she may tweak his parameters just enough for him to reveal a life changing project of his! Her admiration brings him out, and her appreciative words make him want to share its progress with the world! His depth and clever talent are fascinating, along with the discovery that it generates along the way. She is inspired to follow though he is a bit askew from her original intent…

Mars has moved on into early Taurus. At 5, almost 6 degrees, he is semisextile lucky Jupiter in Aries, Mars’ sign! Fearless and Feisty. Mars will now move steadily, simplifying Jupiter’s big plans, applying them in practical order. Jupiter may be in a hurry, but Mars won’t be rushed. He’s doing it and doing it right. Jupiter has big ideas, and as Mars works, he has some of his own, synthesizes different parts of Jupiter’s plan in unexpected ways. They can make a prototype that will be used on other similar projects. They can demonstrate it and take it to new key places.

The Fixed Stars, Galactic Center/GC, and Pluto!

Planets at 24 to 29 degrees, continue to activate fixed star Algol 26 Taurus and the Galactic Center at 27 Sagittarius and Pluto 28 Capricorn connections strongly 8 times Sep 2021 to May 2022. Fixed stars Polaris – the North Star, Betelgeuse in Orion are at 28 Gemini, and Procyon 25 Cn 47, will give varying additional effects per their type of connections with those signs. Note where these factors fall in your chart, which house(s). That is the section of your life that they activate. Check with your astrologer for further personal details.

Pluto is now at 27° Capricorn 30 and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Allowing a 3 degree range, anytime Pluto is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine fixed star Algol at 26 Taurus 27. That period started Feb 2020 – virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines are formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20, & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022, Aug 29, Nov 16. Please see more in the New Moon Fixed Stars Summary above.

The GC is the center of our Milky Way, a monumental power center encompassing huge knowledge. Sagittarius is the Teacher, traveler of the cosmos across dimensions beyond our understanding, yet it exists and we have access. The GC Stars send Light from aeons away, a subtle light, but perhaps even more potent because we can’t ‘see’ it and don’t fight it. If your chart factors link up, you may find yourself having insights, both enlightening and perverse.

The Galactic Center offers accessing stunning options in the magnitude of billions of stars, galaxies upon galaxies! We may only get inklings, impressions, but go for the most potent long term options you can conceive of. They are stepping stones to even greater options to come. Stretch, reach out of the box! Hang on and pull yourself up! There will be spirits out there reaching to help you along! More on the Galactic Center!

This chart has a pantheon of Galactic connections with a LOT of Fixed Stars! TEN of the planets are involved, Mars the exception! Follow up with these as you wish at Astrology King! Jamie is a pro! Page down to select the stars of your choice.

• Pluto, 27 Capricorn 30, is one degree of Polaris/Betelgeuse 28 Gemini, Markeb 28 Virgo 54, and Algol 26 Taurus. He is close with Alrisha 29 Aries, Regulus 29 Leo/0 Virgo, Scheat 29 Pisces – seven stars, the last three at ending/beginning degrees!

March 23, 2023 Pluto enters Aquarius, a 248 year event! Now through 2044 there will be significant world changes. Right now is the time to be strengthening our Aquarian and Uranian people, factors in our own charts!
